A case of neoplastic aneurysm caused by left atrial myxoma is reported. The patient was a 50-year-old woman who has been suffered from occasional vertigo and syncopal attack. She was admitted with a sudden loss of consciousness and cerebellar ataxia on December 1, 1983. Cerebral angiogram revealed multiple aneurysms in the periphery of both middle cerebral arteries and obstruction of the right superior cerebellar artery. Echocardiography displayed a cardiac myxoma in the left atrium. She suddenly died from recurrent cerebral embolism on January 7, 1984. The diagnosis was confirmed by the autopsy. The histopathological examination revealed that the wall of cerebral arteries were destroyed by the tumor cells of myxoma, and it caused cerebral aneurysms. We presented the detail of this case, and discussed about a mechanism and a treatment of neoplastic aneurysms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009232 Myxoma A benign neoplasm derived from connective tissue, consisting chiefly of polyhedral and stellate cells that are loosely embedded in a soft mucoid matrix, thereby resembling primitive mesenchymal tissue. It occurs frequently intramuscularly where it may be mistaken for a sarcoma. It appears also in the jaws and the skin. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Angiomyxoma,Angiomyxomas,Myxomas
D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
