[Neurological disorders disclosing auricular myxoma: 3 cases].
We report 2 cases (n. 1 and 2) of cerebral infarction caused by a left atrial myxoma, and 1 case (n. 3). of dementia associated with a large left atrial myxoma. Cerebral emboli and neurological symptoms which can occur prior to cardiac obstructive and/or systemic signs require echocardiography. The cardiac post-operative condition was dramatically improved in cases revealed by an hemiplegia.
