  • Title: Cerebral embolism from left atrial myxoma leading to cerebral and retinal aneurysms: a case report.
    Author: Herbst M, Wattjes MP, Urbach H, Inhetvin-Hutter C, Becker D, Klockgether T, Hartmann A.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 2005 Mar; 26(3):666-9. PubMed ID: 15760885.
    Abstract:
    Left atrial myxoma commonly leads to cerebral embolic ischemic stroke. The subsequent formation of cerebral aneurysms due to myxomatous emboli is a phenomenon that may lead to severe neurologic complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage. In addition to the formation of aneurysms in cerebral arteries, we report here the unique picture of a retinal involvement consisting in microaneurysm formation associated with myxomatous embolism.
