Atrial Myxoma - A rare cause of stroke (Case Series)
Pushpendra N Renjen, Dr. Dinesh Chaudhari
Abstract :
Most strokes in young adults are ischemic. Atrial myxoma‘s are a rare cause of stroke, accounting for fewer than 1% of all ischemic strokes. Myxomas are commonest cardiac tumors mostly seen in left atrium.However, left atrial myxoma presenting with stroke is rare clinical condition whose etiology is unknown. Neurological sequelae after resection are rare but may occur without recurrence of the cardiac tumor. Detection of the tumor by echocardiography, followed by surgical excision, significantly reduces the risk of subsequent ischemic strokes.
