title: Mural aortic thrombus and peripheral embolisation in a patient with hyperhomocysteinaemia.
abstract: A mobile thrombus of the descending thoracic aorta in young people is extremely uncommon. We describe a 38-year-old woman with a mural thrombus in the proximal aorta complicated by peripheral embolisation, due to hyperhomocysteinaemia.
