Cardiac myxoma is a condition where there is a tumor in the heart chambers, which is a rare cause of cardioembolic strokes in patients. The purpose of this case report is to convey a case that is rarely found in daily clinical practice as well as the stages of diagnosis and management of this case. A 42-year-old woman came with a sudden loss of consciousness, and after the patient regained consciousness, there was a neurological deficit. Based on the anamnesis, there was no history or risk factors for stroke in the patient.
