Abstract
A patient with mitral stenosis and systemic thromboemboli is presented. Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a spherical thrombus floating freely within the left atrium which was corroborated by postmortem examination. This case is unique in its clinical outcome and provides insight into the pathogenesis of such left atrial thrombi.
