Metastasis of an atrial myxoma to the brain is extremely
rare1. Thus far there are only 17 cases reported, including
our present case. Most of the brain metastases manifest
only in 3 to 6 decades, after an average time frame of one to two years after surgical removal of parental tumour. We
present a case of brain metastases of atrial myxoma in a
teenager of the youngest age among all reported cases,
unusually as early as 15 years old 3. The progress of the
metastatic process had been insidious for three years after
heart surgery, The imaging demonstrated a rather sizeable
tumour by the time when the patient is symptomatic. The
location of the metastatic tumour is anyhow superficial to
the cortical surface, enabling complete surgical excision of the tumour easily achievable with favourable outcome.
