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.
