title: Atrial myxoma demonstrated by cine gradient refocused echo magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: A case of atrial myxoma presenting with syncope evaluated by echocardiography and MRI is described. Cine gradient-echo MRI demonstrated atrial myxoma as a very low signal intensity mass indicating the presence of haemosiderin.
