Atrial myxomas can exhibit malignant potential, including intracranial and skeletal metastases, necessitating awareness of their neurological complications.
Raises awareness for metastatic surveillance in atrial myxoma; leaves open prospective validation of the proposed classification.
The neurological complications secondary to embolism from atrial myxoma are reviewed. A patient with intracranial and skeletal metastases is described to emphasise the malignant potentiality of this tumour. A classification of atrial myxoma metastases is presented.
