A rare case of primary intracranial myxoma of the posterior fossa is described in a 32-year old woman. The patient presented with a history of headaches, disequilibrium, nausea and abnormal vision for several months. Computed tomography (CT) showed a well-demarcated hypodense mass. After contrast administration the mass appeared as an inhomogeneously enhancing lesion surrounded by a small rim of edema. The mass was surgically excised with histological examination revealing a true myxoma. Echocardiography revealed no evidence of a cardiac myxoma. The CT appearance of other case reports of non-cardiac myxomas in the literature is reviewed.
