Abstract
Left ventricular myxomas account for 2.5% of all cardiac myxoma cases. There are very few case reports on left ventricular myxoma (LVM) presented after complete surgical resection of left atrial myxoma. Here we report a case of a 58-year-old male presented to the hospital for transient limb weakness, numbness and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance image of the brain revealed multiple thromboembolic cerebrovascular accidents. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed a left atrial myxoma. It was resected completely with good surgical margins. After one and half year he started having dizziness, and transient right sided weakness. Computer tomography scan of the head revealed a progression of thromboembolic disease. TTE revealed a LVM that was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiogram. It was resected with good surgical margins 3 wk after recurrent cerebrovascular accident.
