Cardiac myxomas accompanied by multiple embolic complications in cerebral and visceral arteries have been well documented in scientific literature. However, cerebral artery aneurysms have rarely been reported as a possible embolic complication of myxomas. This study describes a patient who had multiple episodes of cerebral infarctions and was found to have left atrial myxoma with old renal infarction as well as cerebral and coronary artery aneurysms. This is the first case report of coronary artery aneurysms associated with cardiac myxoma.
