[Cardiogenic cause of cerebral embolism].
Cerebral insults of cardiac origin are often of great functional importance. The most common cause is atrial fibrillation. Other sources of cerebral embolies, even if rare, such as cardiac tumors, must not be ignored. Many of these patients present neurologic symptoms. The diagnosis is established on ecco-cardiography. Surgical management is the treatment of choice. We discuss a young patient with multiple cerebral insults and a papillary cardiac tumor.
