Abstract
|
|
|
|
The authors report a case of cardiac myxoma with simultaneous multiple intracranial hemorrhages. A 45-year-old man presenting with hemiparesis and seizure was found on brain computerized tomography(CT) scan to have intracranial hemorrhagic regions in both frontoparietal areas. Chest CT scan for searching primary focus of metastasis showed a mass it the heart, and subsequent echocardiogram showed a myxoma in the left atrium. Total resection of the brain lesions was carried out after cardiac operation. Although myxoma cells could not be found in specimens of the intracerebral lesions, coincidental hemorrhages were suspected to have occurred due to metastasis of cardiac myxoma
