Myxoma embolization during electroconvulsive therapy. An unusual presentation.

We describe a comatose female patient after electroconvulsive therapy. Head imaging showed diffuse cerebral emboli. Transesophageal echocardiography showed left atrial myxoma which was resected soon thereafter. The article describes the presentation, complications and treatment of myxomas and discusses electroconvulsive therapy, its adverse events and the possible relation to myxoma embolization.
