Incidental Thrombus in Transit Causing Embolic Stroke

الملخص EN

Thrombus in transit leading to paradoxical systemic arterial embolism is a rare echocardiographic finding in patients presenting with embolic stroke.

We present a case of a patient who had an atrial thrombus in transit discovered incidentally and later suffered a fatal stroke.

Etiologies of cardioembolic stroke and the use of echocardiography in diagnosis and management are briefly discussed.
