Adolesan Bir Hastada Atriyal Miksomanın Nadir Bir Prezentasyonu: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Cardiac myxomas are rare benign tumors in childhood. They most commonly occur in left atrium. Irregular surface of atrial myxomas is associated with a high risk of embolic events. The majority of cardiac myxoma patients are diagnosed with cardiac symptoms. In the literature, there are a limited number of case reports on neurological symptoms in childhood which are diagnosed with cardiac myxoma after a detailed examination. We present a 16-year-old female patient with left atrial myxoma who presented with neurologic symptoms like diplopia and ataxia mimicking demyelinating neurological diseases.
