Two cases of cardiac myxoma with secondary involvement of the brain and death are reported. In one case, tumor emboli to the middle cerebral artery caused massive cerebral infarction, while in the other case true cerebral metastasis developed in the cerebrum and cerebellum, with rapid demise ensuing in both patients. It is emphasized that an emergency exists in cases ihat prompt echocardiography and computerized tomography of the brain are indicated. The second case represents the only instance of cardiac myxoma behaving as a true malignant neoplasm with actual invasion of the neural tissues recorded in the literature.
报告了两例心脏黏液瘤继发脑受累并导致死亡的病例。一例中，大脑中动脉的肿瘤栓子导致大面积脑梗死，而另一例中，大脑和小脑出现了真正的脑转移，两名患者均迅速死亡。需要强调的是，对于那些需要立即进行超声心动图和脑部计算机断层扫描的病例，存在紧急情况。第二例代表了文献中记录的心脏黏液瘤表现为真正的恶性肿瘤并实际侵犯神经组织的唯一实例。
