“…When symptomatic, atrial myxomas have obstructive, metastatic and/or constitutional manifestations and most frequently present with dyspnoea signifying some degree of heart failure 5 9 13 17. Left atrial myxomas have a propensity to embolise haematogenously and get deposited in the brain, bone, cartilage, skin, abdominal organs and soft tissues 6 9 13.…”

“…The majority of cardiac myxomas occur in the left atrium, with typical location of origin the interatrial septum (area of fossa ovalis) [5]. A rare case of a giant left atrial myxoma as an unusual cause of syncope and cerebral emboli has also been described [6]. Furthermore, late recurrence of left atrial myxoma after surgical resection may be presented with multiple intracranial aneurysms [7].…”
