AI Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old male experienced a stroke affecting multiple areas of the brain, despite lacking common risk factors.
- A transesophageal echocardiogram identified an unusual growth in the heart, initially thought to be an atrial myxoma.
- After surgery, the mass was confirmed as a papillary fibroelastoma with a thrombus, highlighting a new way that heart tumors can lead to strokes.
Article Abstract
A 56-year-old male presented with a multi-territorial stroke without traditional cerebrovascular risk factors. A transesophageal echocardiogram revealed an intracardiac lesion attached to the lateral wall of the left atria, consistent with an atrial myxoma. Surgical excision of the lesion was performed and revealed that lesion was in fact a papillary fibroelastoma with thrombus attached, which demonstrates a novel mechanism by which intracardiac masses can cause cerebral events.
