Abstract
Cardiac myxomas are benign intracavitary neoplasms. Their incidence in cardiac surgery is approximately 0.3%. Biatrial myxomas are extremely rare. A 3 years old child presented with dysphagia, progressive weight loss and repeated attacks of cough and cold with systolic murmur in mitral area. Echocardiography detected biatrial myxoma. Myxomas are known for life threatening complications like thromboembolism and sudden cardiac arrest. Excision of biatrial myxoma was done under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperative course was uneventful. Myxomas are known for recurrence and familial occurrence. So, regular follow up and familial screening are important.
