Atrial myxomas are the most common primary tumors of the heart. Neurologic involvement usually occurs as a stroke with ischemic episodes. Following excision of cardiac myxomas, delayed neurologic events owing to aneurysms are rare and have not been reported from India. We report an operated case of left atrial myxoma. The patient initially presented with a stroke and 6 months after the surgery, developed multiple intracerebral hemorrhages due to the rupture of fusiform cerebral aneurysms, without recurrence of the cardiac tumor.
心房黏液瘤是最常见的原发性心脏肿瘤。神经系统受累通常表现为伴有缺血发作的中风。心脏黏液瘤切除术后，因动脉瘤导致的延迟性神经系统事件罕见，印度尚未有相关报道。我们报告一例左心房黏液瘤手术病例。该患者最初表现为中风，术后6个月，因梭形脑动脉瘤破裂发生多处脑出血，心脏肿瘤未复发。
