Cerebral transient ischemic attack due to left ventricular thrombus formation in a young patient with silent myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries.
Among many cardiac diseases related to cerebral stroke, left ventricular thrombus formation due to silent myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries represents a rare cause of cerebral ischemia. We describe an unusual case of cerebral ischemia due to cardiac thrombus formation in a young patient with silent myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries in which echocardiography and cardiac MR imaging clearly showed the embolic source.
