Left Atrial Myxoma with Atypical Presentation as Acute Cerebrovascular Accident: A Case Report
Abstract: Left atrial myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor, accounting for nearly 80% of benign cardiac tumors. Clinical presentation varies widely depending on tumor size, mobility, and embolic potential. Neurological manifestations due to systemic embolization are uncommon but clinically significant presentations. We report a rare case of a 40 year-old female who presented with acute cerebrovascular accident and exertional dyspnea, later diagnosed with a large left atrial myxoma attached to the interatrial septum. Coronary angiography additionally demonstrated vascular supply to the tumor from the right coronary artery branch. The patient underwent successful surgical excision with favorable postoperative outcome.
