BACKGROUND Neurologic complications can be the initial manifestation of atrial myxoma. Prompt diagnosis is of paramount significance to prevent recurrent complications. OBJECTIVE To identify patients with neurologic complications attributed to atrial myxoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS With institutional review board approval, we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 74 consecut...

Myxoma jantung merupakan tumor jinak primer yang paling umum, biasanya ada di atrium kiri dengan titik perlekatan daerah fossa ovalis. Modalitas pencitraan untuk diagnosis myxoma antaranya ekokardiografi, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cardiac is the most common primary benign heart tumor, usually in left with an attachment point ovalis area. Many modalities for car...

Myxoma may cause systemic embolization and frequently presents as ischemic stroke. There has been debates whether it is safe to use recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in patients with cardiac myxoma who are presented with ischemic stroke at emergency department. we describe a young case of atrial myxoma with initial presentation of acute cerebral infarction symptoms who was treate...

Ischemic stroke is uncommon in pediatric populations and is sometimes caused by cardiac myxoma. In such cases, neurological deficits initially present in ischemic stroke due to emboli or thrombi of the myxoma. Echocardiography is helpful to diagnose myxoma in a timely manner and allows urgent surgical resection of the myxoma. We report a successful case of myxoma in a 7-year-old boy who initial...

a case of right atrial myxoma in a 5 year old male is presented. the patient was admitted in the pediatric department with systemic manifestations. myxoma was incidentally diagnosed.

PURPOSE Cardiac myxomas are rare benign tumors of the heart. Although most cases are sporadic, rare familial occurrence has been described. The aim of this study was to evaluate tumor involvement in family members of patients with cardiac myxoma and to compare familial vs nonfamilial cardiac myxoma in relation to age, sex, site and multichamber involvement, endocrine abnormality, embolism, pres...

Myxoma virus, a poxvirus previously considered rabbit specific, can replicate productively in a variety of human tumor cells in culture. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was efficacy or toxicities of this oncolytic virus against experimental models of human malignant gliomas in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo in malignant glioma specimens. In vitro, the majority of glioma cell li...

BACKGROUND To retrospectively evaluate mitral valve abnormality in left atrial myxoma patients by using cardiac computed tomography (CT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Cardiac CT was performed in 56 patients with left atrial myxoma and 50 controls. Tumor and mitral valve characteristics were analyzed. The mitral valve parameters differences were compared between patients with myxoma and controls, myxo...

Myxomas are rarely associated with congenital cardiac anomalies. We report a case of a young female presenting with symptoms of atrial myxoma but having co-existing ASD visualized on 64 slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) prior to cardiac surgery. Patient had a successful resection of biatrial myxoma and ASD repair. This case is unique as the myxoma originated from the inferior margi...
