摘要
Atrial myxoma is the most frequent primary cardiac tumor; however, it is a rare, substantial cause of cardiogenic emboli causing a stroke, especially in young adults. A cardiac myxoma has no specific clinical presentation, ranging from constitutional symptoms to non-cardiac symptoms and emboli, which leads to a diagnostic challenge in the clinical process. We report a case of a left atrial myxoma in an adult female who presented with sudden onset of right-sided weakness, headache, and numbness. Imaging confirmed cardiogenic emboli from the cardiac myxoma, which was reflected in an ischemic stroke.
