Left Atrial Myxoma Presenting as Persistent Dizziness

Cardiac masses are divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors. The tumor can cause valvular obstruction and embolization phenomenon. To elucidate the etiology of cardiac masses, we rely on the use of echocardiograms in combination with the clinical picture of the patient. We describe an interesting case report of a 71-year-old woman who presented with persistent dizziness for one day. MRI brain showed multiple, small, scattered foci of acute infarction. The patient was treated with aspirin and atorvastatin. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass in the left atrium. Afterward, the tumor was removed surgically and histopathology was consistent with atrial myxoma.
