Key result
Cardiac myxoma presents as a rare cause of multiple cerebral aneurysms and cortical infarctions.
Why the study?
Cardiac myxomas are a very uncommon cause of cerebral aneurysms, and clinical guidance on management is limited.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

A young woman with neurological symptoms, small cortical infarctions, and multiple cerebral aneurysms

Cardiac myxoma warrants consideration in young patients with multiple cerebral aneurysms; extends case reports but leaves open larger confirmatory studies.
Cardiac myxomas are a very uncommon cause of cerebral aneurysms. We present a case of a young woman with neurological symptoms attributed to small cortical infarctions and multiple cerebral aneurysms, caused by a cardiac myxoma.
