« Myxoma Of The Left Atrium Responsible For Fatal Cerebrovascular Accident »

Abstract

Left atrial myxoma is a rare tumor. The polymorphism of its clinical presentation is sometimes confusing for the clinician. Although its histologically benign nature is recognized by the majority of authors, its intracardiac location gives it a significant lethal evolutionary potential in the absence of surgical treatment. We report here the case of a 38-year-old patient who presented with a massive ischemic stroke.
