We present a 13-year-old girl who suffered from an episode of transient syncope and twitching of the face about one month ago, and had sudden loss of consciousness associated with right hemiparalysis one day prior to admission. CT scan of the brain revealed an area of softening at the left temporal lobe. Echocardiography and angiocardiography revealed a tumor mass in the left atrium. At open heart surgery, a tumor mass of the size of 6.5×6×2cm arising from the left atrial septum was excised. The tumor was later histologically proved to be myxoma.
