Complete detachment of a cardiac myxoma represents an exceptionally rare but potentially catastrophic complication. This case report describes a young female patient who developed acute abdominal pain following vigorous physical exertion, with rapid progression to visceral ischemia and bilateral lower limb ischemia within an extremely short timeframe. Comprehensive diagnostic imaging and postoperative pathological examination confirmed this as a remarkably rare case of complete cardiac myxoma detachment. This condition has been reported in only a handful of cases in the existing medical literature.
