Implication

Consider right atrial myxoma with ASD2 in paradoxical embolism; single case leaves screening implications open.

Structured PICO

Population

51-year-old female patient presenting with dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and gait disorders, diagnosed with right atrial myxoma and atrial septal defect secundum (ASD2).

Intervention

Surgical removal of the right atrial myxoma

Outcome

Successful surgical removal of the tumor and intraoperative confirmation of ASD2

Right atrial myxoma can manifest with neurological symptoms due to paradoxical cerebral embolism when coexisting with an atrial septal defect.
