Why the study?

Brain metastases or multiple cerebral aneurysms, particularly co-occurring, are extremely rare in patients with cardiac myxoma.

Implication

Supports long-term surveillance after atrial myxoma resection; leaves open optimal protocols for detecting late cerebral metastases.

Structured PICO

Population

1 39-year-old woman with a history of left atrial myxoma excision presenting with progressive headache, blurred vision, nausea, and vomiting due to multiple cerebral metastases and metastatic aneurysms.

Intervention

Left frontotemporal craniotomy with neurosurgical clipping of left ACA arterial aneurysms and excision of frontal tissue, followed by antiplatelet therapy.

Long-term follow-up of patients with atrial myxoma is recommended due to the rare but persistent risk of cerebral metastases and aneurysms even after complete surgical excision.
