Abstract
Cardiac myxoma is a rare disease with protean manifestations. Embolic phenomena are well-known entities. However, total occlusion of the descending aorta by saddle embolism along with multi-organ embolism is very unusual. We report a patient with cardiac myxoma presenting with multi-organ embolism including saddle embolism of the aorta in a previously healthy female.
