Abstract

Atrial myxomas are the most common cardiac tumors, rarely presenting with both systemic embolization and intracranial aneurysms. A 34-year-old woman presented with acute limb ischemia of both lower limbs and right upper limb and on evaluation was diagnosed with left atrial myxoma and intracranial aneurysms. She underwent embolectomy and intracranial aneurysm repair followed by successful excision of left atrial myxoma after 4 weeks. This case is reported for the rare association of myxoma with intracranial aneurysm along with systemic embolization which has not been reported in the literature.
