Fusiform aneurysms detected 5 years after removal of an atrial myxoma.
Neurological signs frequently accompany atrial myxomas. Association of multiple cerebral aneurysms in patients with atrial myxomas are less common than embolic infarctions. The development of aneurysms years after the cardiac tumor removal is rare, and few MR images have been reported to date. A case of multiple peripheral fusiform aneurysms detected 5 years after tumor resection is presented in this report, together with MR images and CT and angiographic images.
