Abstract:
Left atrial ball thrombus is a rare complication of rheumatic mitral
stenosis. Echocardiographic is of paramount importance in the diagnosis
and the management in order to avoid embolic events and sudden death. We
report on a patient with a left atrial ball thrombus combined with
rheumatic mitral stenosis, which was detected during echocardiographic
in the context of an etiological assessment of an ischemic stroke.
