Cardioembolic stroke is an important cause of stroke in young people. Cardioembolism classically causes infarcts in multiple vascular territories. In the case described here a young woman developed cardioembolic stroke secondary to atrial myxoma. The presentation was atypical in that the woman had no systemic manifestations of her myxoma.
心源性栓塞性卒中是年轻人卒中的重要病因。心源性栓塞通常会导致多个血管区域发生梗死。在此所述病例中,一名年轻女性继发于心房黏液瘤而发生了心源性栓塞性卒中。该病例的表现不典型,因为该女性没有黏液瘤的全身表现。
