Multiple Cerebral and Systemic Aneurysms in a Case of Left Atrial Myxoma – Are They Related?

Abstract: Cardiac myxomas are known to be associated with cerebral aneurysms, however the mechanism of aneurysm formation is still debatable. Myxomatous tumor emboli to the vessel wall have been propounded as the plausible mechanism for aneurysm formation. Recent literature also implicates raised interleukin-6 (IL-6), secreted by atrial myxomas, in the genesis of aneurysms. We describe a patient who presented with mild persistent headache, later diagnosed to be harbouring multiple unruptured cerebral and systemic aneury… Show more

“…Every animal has a certain amount of energy contained in its muscles in the form of glycogen, and once the animal is dead, muscle glycogen is converted into lactic acid that causes pH to fall [ 30 ]. The impact of nutritional factors on muscle glycogen has revealed a direct relationship between metabolizable energy intake and muscle glycogen levels [ 31 ].…”
