Concurrent Pulmonary and Cerebral Embolism: Is Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis the Culprit?
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common complication of right side endocarditis. Sudden onset of a cryptogenic stroke during this condition is a suspicious clue for a paradoxical cerebral embolism. An unusual case of tricuspid endocarditis complicated by PE and massive ischemic stroke is reported. Transthoracic echocardiography and brain CT scan were the imaging techniques used to diagnose this rare condition.
