title: Massive cerebral embolism originated from ruptured infective mitral annular calcification in a chronic hemodialysis patient.
abstract: Infective endocarditis of mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been reported, however, little attention has been given to the possibility of cerebral-embolism based infective endocarditis of MAC. We report a chronic hemodialysis patient of massive cerebral embolism originated from ruptured infective MAC.
