After a teenager collapsed at a trampoline park, paramedics worried he'd had a heart attack, which is rare in children. The cause was more unusual.
AdvertisementAs an image flashed on the screen, Wernovsky recalled, there was a collective “audible gasp, followed by complete silence.”
“Look, I just want you to save my son,” Shron remembers telling doctors before he was wheeled into the operating room. In early August, six weeks before he fainted at the trampoline park, BB had gone to a Maryland gym with his older brother, Akintola. While working out he complained of feeling dizzy, “tingly and generally not right” and then briefly passed out. He called his mother.
Shron said she called BB’s pediatrician who told her the episode might be migraine-related and advised that he take it easy. Myxomas are nearly always benign, although BB’s was “in a malignant place. I can’t think of a scarier activity than jumping on a trampoline,” Wernovsky noted, because the huge tumor easily could have blocked blood flow to BB’s heart, killing him instantly.
