Abstract

A 22 year old female presented in 1987 a cardiac myxoma, removed in 1991. In 1992 catheter angiography showed bilateral aneurysms. Conservative treatment was elected. In 2000 recurrence of the myxoma and subsequent removal, prompted new angiography. All aneurysms had decreased in size, some had spontaneously disappeared.
