Cerebral angiography in cardiac myxoma. Correlation of angiographic and histopathological findings
TLDR
A report of 3 cases illustrates the cerebral angiographic findings which can be encountered in left atrial myxoma with cerebral embolization, and suggests this rare variety, neoplastic, should probably be added to the classical six varieties of aneurysm.Abstract:
A report of 3 cases illustrates the cerebral angiographic findings which can be encountered in left atrial myxoma with cerebral embolization. Since there apparently has been no previous record of the pathological basis of the unusual developments in chronic stages of the embolization, neuropathological findings at autopsy in one patient have been extensively described. Recognition of these angiographic features may be of major significance in establishing diagnosis. To the classical six varieties of aneurysm should probably be added this rare variety, neoplastic, since some of these aneurysms have sufficient remaining elements of the arterial wall to be classified as true aneurysms.read more

Central Nervous System Manifestations of Cardiac Myxoma
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 74 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed cardiac myxoma at the Mayo Clinic from January 1, 1993, through December 31, 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
The malignant potentiality of left atrial myxoma.
TL;DR: The clinical course of 3 men, ages 48 to 64 years, whose left atrial myxoma recurred or metastasized following resection is presented, and radical excision of the atrial septum with prosthetic replacement of the resulting defect is recommended to excise the tumor adequately and help eliminate foci of recurrence.

Intracranial aneurysms: from vessel wall pathology to therapeutic approach

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that aneurysms represent a symptom of an underlying vascular disease rather than constituting a disease on their own, and that understanding the morphology and pathology of this structure is important in determining the therapeutic approach.

Neurological manifestations of cardiac myxoma: a review of the literature and report of cases.
Elif I Ekinci,Geoffrey A. Donnan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors aimed to review the neurological presentations, including stroke, of cardiac myxoma in this modern era of diagnosis and management, and found that the most common presentation was ischaemic stroke (83% of all patients) most often in multiple sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed neurologic complications of left atrial myxoma
TL;DR: This study studied the delayed neurologic complications of left atrial myxoma in 2 patients and analyzed 47 previously published cases, finding that treatment with doxorubicin failed to prevent aneurysm enlargement in one patient.

Myxoma of the left atrium: Observations on two cases, with successful removal and review of diagnostic methods
TL;DR: The episodic development, in one case, of rather striking disparity in the degree of venous engorgement in the two lung fields, ascribed to selective pulmonary vein obstruction, is offered as an additional finding which may serve to initiate suspicion and aid in the diagnosis of tumor of the left atrium.

Myxoma of the heart with internal carotid artery occlusion in a child.
TL;DR: Occlusion of the left internal carotid artery by thrombus from the surface of the myxoma was presumed to be the underlying mechanism in the patient to be described in this paper.
