Dr Suraj Wasudeo Nagre
Abstract :
Left atrial myxomas remain the most common benign primary cardiac tumors, and these cardiac growths can masquerade as mitral stenosis, infective endocarditis and collagen vascular disease. Atrial myxomas are found in approximately 14–20% of the population and can lead to embolization, intercardiac obstructions, conduction disturbances and lethal valve obstructions. We describe a case of an asymptomatic young female who presented with history of giddiness and two episodes of syncopal attacks in past two months .After echocardiography diagnosed to have large left atrial myxoma intermittently obstructing mitral valve outflow requiring urgent excision.
