[Left atrial myxoma and isquemic stroke in a child]. / Mixoma atrial esquerdo com acidente vascular cerebral isquêmico em criança.

The authors present a case of left atrial myxoma with stroke in an 8-year-old female child. The tumor was removed and two months after the surgery a left atrial septum mass was observed suggesting recurrence. The child was asymptomatic. Literature review emphasizes the rarity and clinically aggressive behavior of this tumor at this age group and demonstrates rare recurrence rates after surgery.
