Abstract

The case of a 7 month old infant with antemortem diagnosis and successful surgical removal of a right atrial myxoma has been presented. The clinical manifestations may be vague and generalized, embolic or primarily obstructive in nature. The presence of anemia, leukocytosis, changing heart murmur and intermittent pyrexia may suggest subacute bacterial endocarditis. Angiocardiography provides a definite diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is established, surgical removal is indicated.
