Key result
Integrated imaging successfully diagnoses a left atrial myxoma presenting as multiple cerebral aneurysms.
Why the study?
Multiple cerebral aneurysms can manifest as neurological symptoms in patients with cardiac myxoma, requiring integrated imaging for accurate diagnosis.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac myxoma can present with neurological symptoms such as multiple cerebral aneurysms, and integrated multimodality imaging is crucial for correct diagnosis.
May prompt cardiac evaluation in multiple cerebral aneurysms; leaves open whether routine screening improves outcomes.
We report a patient with left side atrial myxoma who initially presented with neurological symptoms. Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging and angiography revealed multiple aneurysms with enhancement leading to the final diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. We showed distinctive findings from brain magnetic resonance imaging, digital subtraction angiography, and cardiac echography and the final pathological appearance of cardiac myxoma in this patient. We consider that a correct diagnosis can be made based on an appropriate evaluation of the integrated imaging studies.

Chiang et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Left side atrial myxoma with multiple cerebral aneurysms (n=1). Integrated imaging studies (MRI, DSA, echocardiography) was evaluated on Diagnosis of cardiac myxoma. Integrated imaging studies including brain MRI, digital subtraction angiography, and echocardiography successfully diagnosed a left side atrial myxoma presenting as multiple cerebral aneurysms.
