Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart.

description Cardiac myxoma is the most common benign tumor of the heart. In most cases, it is in the left atrium, which can generate neurological embolization; that can manifest as an ischemic event, aneurysm formation and less frequently as brain metastases. This is a case report of a 56-year-old male patient with cerebral embolisms secondary to a left cardiac myxoma. In these patients, the role of neurologic imaging is to detect the firsts complications and avoid secondary complications.
