Unraveling a Medical Mystery: A Boy's Collapse Reveals a Shocking Discovery
A 14-year-old boy, known as BB, collapsed at an indoor trampoline park and was rushed to Children's National Hospital in Washington. After a series of unexplained symptoms, doctors discovered a large tumor attached to his heart. BB underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumor, which was found to be benign. He made a rapid recovery and has since resumed playing basketball, but will require annual follow-ups with a cardiologist for the rest of his life. The case serves as a reminder to consider a broad range of possibilities when evaluating symptoms.
