Ischemic Stroke Caused by Left Ventricular Cardiac Myxoma: Case Report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Primary heart tumors are a rare entity among neoplasms, among them myxoma is the main lesion reported in more than 50% of cases. Myxomas are generally located in the left atrium, however they can be located in any cardiac chamber. Its diagnosis is usually incidental, after some complication, mainly thromboembolic. Transthoracic echocardiography is the first diagnostic method used, however, biopsy with immunohistochemistry is the gold standard.
