Abstract
Cardiac myxomas constitute the most frequent forms of primitive and benign heart tumors. The left atrial location is by far the most frequent. The variability of their clinical symptomatology is related to size, mobility and location of the mass. Their diagnosis is first and foremost echocardiographic. This pathology has an increased risk of sudden death and thromboembolic complications therefore requiring early surgical management. We report the case of a 38-year-old patient with a dyspnea Stade III NYHA whose clinical examination objectified a breath of mitral narrowing. Echocardiography made possible the diagnosis of left atrium myxoma with the beginning of entrapment in the mitral valve histologically confirmed after an urgent surgical resection. The patient presented a complete AVB successfully set right after surgery. Cardiac myxomas are pathologies with serious complications involving patient’s life and functional prognosis. Conduction disorders are part of the rhythmic complications encountered in post-operative state.
