[Myxoma as a cause of cerebral infarction and arterial occlusion in the lower limb].

Myxomas, though uncommon, represent the second most frequent type of primary cardiac tumours. They can be a source of embolisms in cerebral as well as other arterial arteries. In this case report, a 65-year-old woman was referred to the hospital with a stroke and signs of ischaemia in the left foot. MRI and CT showed cerebral infarcts of different ages, and occlusion of the left a. poplitea. One year earlier, the patient had a stroke with symptoms in the right arm. Imaging gave rise to suspicion of myxoma, and the patient had the tumour removed on day 8. The patient only experienced mild and a few sequelae two months later.
