RESUMEN
El mixoma cardí­aco es una neoplasia benigna; cuando se localiza en la aurí­cula izquierda es potencialmente generadora de émbolos, y se constituye en una causa rara de patologí­a embólica cerebral. Su diagnóstico es muchas veces incidental en estudios de imagen solicitados por otras circunstancias clí­nicas. Se presenta el caso de un paciente con probable mixoma auricular izquierda que genera un infarto maligno en el territorio de la arteria cerebral media derecha y en el que la ecocardiografí­a a pie de cama del paciente se convirtió en un instrumento diagnóstico de relevancia.

ABSTRACT
Cardiac myxoma is a benign neoplasm, when it is located in the left atrium it is potentially associated with systemic embolism, and it is a rare cause of cerebral embolism. The diagnosis of cardiac myxoma is usually incidental, being found as a results of searching for other clinical conditions. We present the case of a patient who probably had a cardiac myxoma of the left atrium that induced a malignant infarction in the territory of the left medial cerebral artery, bedside heart ultrasound was a relevant diagnostic procedure in this patient.
