Abstract (Original Language): 
Baş dönmesi ayırıcı tanısında nadiren akla gelen atrial miksoma olgusunu literatür eşliğinde tartışmaktır. 65 yaşında kadın hasta dört aydır baş-layan baş dönmesi nedeni ile nöroloji polikliniğine başvurmuş. Yapılan tetkiklerde nö-olojik bir neden saptanmamış. Kardiyoloji kliniğine başvurması söylenmiş. Ayrıntılı fizik muayene sonrası yapılan Transtorasik Ekokardiyografi(TTE) de sol atriyumda, sol ventrikül giriş ve çıkış yolunda obstrüksiyona yol açan dev miksoma tespit edildi. Hastaya cerrahi önerildi ancak hasta kabul etmedi. Baş dönmesi sık karşılaşı-lan bir poliklinik başvuru şikayetidir. Nadir fakat kötü klinik sonuçlara neden olabileceğinden dolayı atrial miksoma mutlaka ayırıcı tanıda göz önünde bulundurul- malıdır.
