Atrial myxoma presenting as bilateral cerebellar infarct and mitral obstruction.

This article discusses a rare case of atrial myxoma, a type of heart tumor, presenting as bilateral cerebellar infarct and mitral obstruction. The patient, a hypertensive septuagenarian, experienced acute dizziness and vomiting and was diagnosed with a stroke. Imaging tests revealed infarcts in both cerebellar hemispheres, and a cardiovascular examination identified a mass in the left atrium causing obstruction. The diagnosis was confirmed by cardiac MRI, and the patient is now awaiting myxoma excision. The article emphasizes the importance of routine cardiac evaluation in cases of ischemic stroke, especially when it is bilateral. [Extracted from the article]
