Abstract:
Cardiac myxoma is an uncommon diagnosis but presents with common manifestations. There is a wide range of symptomatology from non-specific fever and weight loss to stroke-like symptoms. It is also one of the rare causes of cardiac syncope and thromboembolic events. We present a case of a 67-year-old female who presented with seemingly benign vertigo symptoms which she ignored for years before seeking medical attention. An echocardiogram revealed a 3.5 x 3.0 x 1.0 cm atrial myxoma which was surgically excised. Her symptoms have resolved entirely with no recurrence since surgery.
