Myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors, located in the left atrium in more than 85% cases. Intracardiac myxomas, although benign, could cause serious consequences such as outflow obstruction, embolism, hemodynamic collapse, acute heart failure and also increases risk of neurological complications in 20-35% of patients. Prompt diagnosis and management of these clinical manifestations is of prime importance. The current case study is representing the challenges during anaesthetic management of patients undergoing cardiac myxoma resection having residual neurological complication.
