Aortic Valve Myxoma in a Young Child

Aortic valve (AoV) myxoma is a rare condition that typically presents in adulthood, often with embolic complications. We present a case of an AoV myxoma in an asymptomatic 5-year-old child with a new or worsening heart murmur and describe the results of surgical resection.
