Abstract
- Spontaneous rupture of a papillary muscle from a papillary abscess is extremely rare. Most cases of papillary muscle ruptures are due to myocardial infarction or trauma. We describe the clinical course of a 68-year-old man who died from a papillary muscle rupture as a complication of a papillary muscle abscess due to Streptococcal pyogenes septicemia.
