Her hematological and cardiological status was assessed, including all extracranial vessels. Carotid angiography and a biopsy were performed of the occluded right internal carotid artery and demonstrated a myxoma. Cardiac investigations to determine the source of the myxoma, including transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiograms, CT and yo-yo CT scans, and MRI of the heart, were normal. No residual tumor or potential source of the tumor was found.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n            The cause of stroke was a myxomatous occlusion of the right internal carotid artery. An entire cardiac tumor may have embolized with no detectable residual tumor in the heart; alternatively, a myxoma may have originated as a primary tumor in the carotid artery. To our knowledge, no primary myxoma has been reported to have originated in a blood vessel.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.str.28.2.456","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,17]],"date-time":"2011-06-17T20:08:03Z","timestamp":1308341283000},"page":"456-458","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Myxoma in the Carotid Artery"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"N.A.","family":"Robbin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"the Departments of Neurology (N.A.R., V.U.F.), Cardiology (P.L.), and Anatomical Pathology (K.C.), School of Pathology, South African Institute for Medical Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Landless","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"the Departments of Neurology (N.A.R., V.U.F.), Cardiology (P.L.), and Anatomical Pathology (K.C.), School of Pathology, South African Institute for Medical Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"the Departments of Neurology (N.A.R., V.U.F.), Cardiology (P.L.), and Anatomical Pathology (K.C.), School of Pathology, South African Institute for Medical Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V.U.","family":"Fritz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"the Departments of Neurology (N.A.R., V.U.F.), Cardiology (P.L.), and Anatomical Pathology (K.C.), School of Pathology, South African Institute for Medical Research, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_1_1_2","first-page":"695","volume":"105","year":"1989","unstructured":"Larsson S, Lepore V, Kennergren C.
