Myxoma represents a benign tumor of heart which is found mainly in patients from 30 up to 60 years. In 75% of cases it invades the left atrium. Sometimes the only clinical finding is cardiac embolic symptoms which are most frequently noticed like cerebral vessel embolism. Clinical cases with ischemic stroke caused by the left atrium myxoma are presented in this article.
