| Popis | We present a rare case of a patient with atypical symptoms regarding his diagnosis. Patient presented pri-marily with neurological symptoms. A computed tomography (CT) scan of this patient showed a simultane-ous pulmonary and systemic embolism. A subsequent preoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a persistent foramen ovale (PFO). It was apparently the way of systemic embolism which caused the neurological symptoms. In this case report we describe the therapy of a simultaneous pulmonary and paradoxical embolism. |
