Abstract
Cardiac myxoma is a rare disease most frequently encountered in adults, usually localized in the left atrium. It rarely occurs in infants. We report a 3 1/2 month old girl whose sudden death was caused by a large atrial myxoma, completely occluding the tricuspidal orifice. The importance of possible prodromal symptoms suggesting a cardiac disease is stated, and the role of echocardiography as an excellent examination technique is discussed.
