[Spontaneous calcific embolization in calcified aortic valve stenosis. A case report].
Calcific embolism from an aortic stenosis is an uncommon event that can be seen after cardiac surgery or left heart catheterization but extremely rare in a spontaneous way. We report a case of a patient with calcified aortic stenosis presenting a spontaneous calcareous embolism in the retinal artery. We review the literature about this problem as well.
