Abstract :
Cardiac tuberculosis and myocardial idging both are an extremely rare finding. Myocardial involvement by tuberculosis is less common and mostly associated with pericardium. Morphologically three forms of cardiac tuberculosis seen are nodular, miliary and diffusely infiltrative form. Myocardial idging is a congenital anomaly where a segment of a major coronary artery takes an intramuscular route and tunnels through the myocardium for some distance before returning to its normal course. Clinically myocardial idging is difficult to diagnose and often detected incidentally, at autopsy. We hereby present a rare autopsy case in a 31 year old female, where we discuss about cardiac tuberculosis and myocardial idging and there possible outcomes.
