The presentations of cardiac myxoma are diverse, from asymptomatic to a variety of symptoms due to embolization. Occlusion of abdominal aortic bifurcation by straddled myxoma is not common; however, obstructive level above renal artery is very rare. We present a patient with cardiac myxoma who presented with acute onset of paraplegia. The aorta was occluded from the level of the liver dome to the renal arteries, and catastrophic outcome (ischemia/reperfusion) following its removal.
