A myxoma is the most common primary tumor of the heart. It has been reported as the source of a cardiogenic embolism. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to detect the myxoma early via echocardiography to prevent complications, such as syncope, sudden death, and cerebral embolic ischemic stroke. This report presents the case of a 54-year-old female whose clinical manifestation of atrial myxoma was an ischemic stroke. Atrial myxoma was later confirmed as the cause of her symptoms via transesophageal echocardiography.
黏液瘤是最常见的原发性心脏肿瘤。它已被报道为心源性栓塞的来源。因此，临床医生通过超声心动图早期检测黏液瘤以预防并发症（如晕厥、猝死和脑栓塞性缺血性中风）非常重要。本报告介绍了一名54岁女性的病例，其心房黏液瘤的临床表现为缺血性中风。后来通过经食管超声心动图证实心房黏液瘤是其症状的病因。
