- Abstract
- Transient ischemic attacks or embolic strokes caused by the cardiac myxoma are very rare in its freguency.
To detect cardiac myxoma, as a source of cerebral embolism originating from the
heart, has a great significance because of the occurrence and recurrence of the possible
stroke can be prevented by surgical procedure.
We present a patient who showed typical clinical symptoms and signs of the left
atrial myxoma which was subsequently diagnosed by 2-dimensional real time
echocardiography and confirmed by sugery.
Following the successful removal of the left atrial myxoma, now, the patient is in
stable neurological condition.
