Abstract :
Cardiac myxoma is a prevalent benign
neoplasm that arises inside the cardiac tissue and exhibits
a gradual growth pattern. The annual incidence rate of
cardiac myxoma is approximately 0.5–1 cases per
1,000,000 persons. The fragmentation of a cardiac tumor
may be influenced by cerebrovascular events. Ischemic
stroke is a relatively infrequent occurrence in pediatric
populations and can occasionally be attributed to cardiac
myxoma. In instances of ischemic stroke, neurological
impairments are observed as a result of emboli or
thrombi originating from the myxoma.
Echocardiography is a valuable tool for promptly
diagnosing myxoma and facilitating immediate surgical
removal of the myxoma. We report a 17 years old female
with neurological deficit weakness in the upper and lower
right extremities since 2 months ago as the chief
complaint with intermittent shortness of breath.
Haemodynamic parameters was stable. The patient
underwent brain imaging with result a lesion of the left
lentiform nucleus, transthoracic echocardiography and
trans esophageal echocardiography with oscillating
septated mass on left atrial, attached to the anterior
mitral leaflet (AML). Primary cardiac tumors are a very
uncommon cause of cardiac embolic events. An atrial
myxoma, a benign growth, can form on either the left or
right side of the upper part of the heart. Untreated atrial
myxoma can lead to adverse effects such as arrhythmia,
pulmonary edema, and emboli formation that obstruct
blood flow in the heart's veins. Ischemic stroke causes a
specific functional impairment. Neurological symptoms in
stroke can be an extra cardiac manifestation of atrial
myxoma. The use of transthoracic and tran seso phageal
is important in diagnosing atrial myxoma.
