Abstract :
Myxoma is by far the most common type of primary cardiac tumor and accounts for about 40%. Symptoms are
resumed in a typical clinical triad: systemic symptoms, signs of valvular or intracavity dysfunction and embolic
episodes. Coronary arteries are a rare site for embolism. We present the case of left atrial myxoma presenting
with chest discomfort and complicated by coronary embolism as assessed by normal coronary angiography and
the presence of subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement at cardiac MRI due to apical myocardial infarction.
