ATRIAL MYXOMA AS A CAUSE OF STROKE IN THE YOUNG
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 28
Abstract
Cardiac Myxoma is a source of emboli to the CNS and elsewhere in the vascular tree. However non-specific systemic symptoms and minor embolic phenomenon may be overlooked in the absence of any history of cardiac symptoms. In this situation cardiac investigations may not be performed and diagnosis of this condition may be delayed until the onset of more significant embolic disease such as stroke with functional impairment as reported here.
