Valvulopathy - Mitral Valve Vegetation
Caption
32-year-old woman presented to ED with clinical signs of subacute stroke - confirmed via Brain CT . In the investigation of etiology of cerebral injury, POCUS identified this large hyperechoic vegetation on the mitral valve (seen here both in PLAX and PSAX views). As a result of these images, a diagnosis of infectious endocarditis causing cerebral septic emboli injury was considered. Renato Tambelli; @JediPocus Emergency Physician (HCFAMEMA /Sao Paulo, Brazil)
