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.
