• TITLE: A case of paradoxical brain embolism presenting as a typical lacunar stroke

  AUTHORS: Gian Paolo Anzola, F. Casilli, E. Onorato

  KEYWORDS: Lacunar Stroke; Patent Foramen Ovale

  JOURNAL NAME: Health, Vol.3 No.4, April 29, 2011

  ABSTRACT: A 59 year old white male presented with a clinical picture typical of lacunar stroke. However, a thorough diagnostic work up showed that the most probable mechanism of stroke was paradoxical brain embolism through a patent foramen ovale. The clinical-neuroradiological mismatch that ultimately lead to the correct interpretation is discussed.
