Abstract

Usually, embolism is described from cardiac or large artery disease. Atrial fibrillation is the most common cause of cardiogenic emboli in stroke. Myxoma is responsible in only a few cases. We describe here a case of a patient who presented with recurrent pure left brachial monoparesis as a manifestation of a cardiac myxoma.
