Abstract


The surgical resection timing of left atrial (LA) myxoma is still controversial in concern for the risk of further embolic phenomena if delayed surgery versus hemorrhagic transformation during early surgery. We describe a case of 60-year-old man without significant past medical history admitted with two-day of double vision and found to have LA myxoma. Multiple factors including clinical aspects and comorbidities should be evaluated to decide the favorable management.
