Left atrial myxoma and isquemic stroke in a child
The authors present a case of left atrial myxoma with stroke in an 8-year-old female child. The tumor was removed and two months after the surgery a left atrial septum mass was observed suggesting recurrence. The child was asymptomatic. Literature review emphasizes the rarity and clinically aggressive behavior of this tumor at this age group and demonstrates rare recurrence rates after surgery.
