Abstract
Two cases of left atrial myxoma were evaluated with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In both cases, the myxoma was clearly defined as to its location, origin, and size. In one case, the myxoma prolapsed through the mitral valve. Our study indicates that MR imaging is valuable in the diagnosis of myxomas.Keywords
