ABSTRACT
Abstract

Objective:

The clinical features of cardiac myxoma stroke have not been sufficiently described. Debates remain concerning the options and timing of treatment and the clinical outcomes are unknown. This article aims to highlight the pertinent aspects of this rare condition.

Methods:

Data source of the present study came from a comprehensive literature collection of cardiac myxoma stroke in PubMed, Google search engine and Highwire Press for the year range 2000-2014.

Results:

Young adults, female predominance, single cerebral vessel (mostly the middle cerebral artery), multiple territory involvements and solitary left atrial myxoma constituted the outstanding characteristics of this patient setting. The most common affected cerebral vessel (the middle cerebral artery) and areas (the basal ganglion, cerebellum and parietal and temporal regions) corresponded well to the common manifestations of this patient setting, such as conscious alteration, ataxia, hemiparesis and hemiplegia, aphasia and dysarthria. Initial computed tomography scan carried a higher false negative rate for the diagnosis of cerebral infarction than magnetic resonance imaging did. A delayed surgical resection of cardiac myxoma was associated with an increased risk of potential consequences in particular otherwise arterial embolism. The mortality rate of this patient population was 15.3%.

Conclusion:

Cardiac myxoma stroke is rare. Often does it affect young females. For an improved diagnostic accuracy, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and echocardiography are imperative for young stroke patients in identifying the cerebral infarct and determining the stroke of a cardiac origin. Immediate thrombolytic therapy may completely resolve the cerebral stroke and improve the neurologic function of the patients. An early surgical resection of cardiac myxoma is recommended in patients with not large territory cerebral infarct. .
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

As características clínicas do acidente vascular cerebral causado por mixoma cardíaco não foram descritas suficientemente. Debates permanecem sobre as opções e o momento de tratamento e os resultados clínicos são desconhecidos. Este artigo tem como objetivo destacar os aspectos pertinentes desta condição rara.

Métodos:

Os dados do presente estudo foram levantados em uma revisão abrangente de literatura sobre acidente vascular cerebral causado por mixoma cardíaco no PubMed, no sistema de buscas do Google e no Highwire Press, abrangendo ao anos entre 2000 e 2014.

Resultados:

Adultos jovens, predominância do sexo feminino, vaso cerebral único (principalmente a artéria cerebral mediana), envolvimentos de territórios múltiplos e mixoma atrial esquerdo solitário são características marcantes destes pacientes. O vaso cerebral afetado mais comum (artéria cerebral média) e áreas (o gânglio basal, cerebelo e regiões parietais e temporais) corresponderam bem com as manifestações comuns destes pacientes, como alteração da consciência, ataxia, hemiparesia e hemiplegia, afasia e disartria. Tomografia computadorizada inicial mostrou taxa de falso negativo mais alta para o diagnóstico de acidente vascular cerebral do que a imagem por ressonância magnética. A ressecção cirúrgica tardia de mixoma cardíaco foi associada com risco aumentado de potenciais consequências, em particular, de outra forma de embolia arterial. A taxa de mortalidade dessa população de pacientes foi de 15,3%.

Conclusão:

Acidente vascular cerebral causado por mixoma cardíaco é raro. Frequentemente, afeta mulheres jovens. Para um diagnóstico mais preciso, exames de ressonância magnética e ecocardiográficos são imperativos para pacientes jovens com acidente vascular cerebral para determinar a localização do enfarte cerebral e se houve origem cardíaca. Terapia trombolítica imediata pode resolver completamente o acidente vascular cerebral e melhorar a função neurológica ...
