Abstract:
A case of transient ischemic attack presumably due to cardiogenic thromboembolism during pregnancy is described in a 32-year-old woman. The patient had documented mitral valve prolapse which was uncomplicated until this episode. This is the first report in the literature of such a complication during pregnancy. The clinical management is described.
