摘要
We report a patient with left side atrial myxoma who initially presented with neurological symptoms. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed multiple aneurysms with enhancement leading to the final diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. We showed distinctive findings from brain magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography, and cardiac echography and the final pathological appearance of cardiac myxoma in this patient. We consider that a correct diagnosis can be made based on an appropriate evaluation of the integrated imaging studies. Copyright (C) 2011, Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation.
