    Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) can cause stroke. This summary discusses two cases and the underlying pathophysiology of NBTE, a rare cardiac condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Neurology
    • Pathophysiology

    Background:

    • Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare condition characterized by sterile vegetations on heart valves.
    • NBTE is often associated with underlying systemic diseases, including malignancy and autoimmune disorders.
    • The embolic potential of NBTE vegetations can lead to significant neurological complications.

    Observation:

    • This report details two clinical cases of patients presenting with stroke secondary to NBTE.
    • Clinical presentation and diagnostic workup for each case are described.
    • The association between NBTE and cerebrovascular events is highlighted.

    Findings:

    • The pathophysiology of NBTE involves a complex interplay of hypercoagulability, endothelial damage, and inflammation.

  • Vegetations in NBTE are composed of fibrin and platelets, lacking bacterial components.
  • Embolization of these sterile vegetations is the primary mechanism leading to stroke in NBTE patients.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the pathophysiology of NBTE is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.
    • Early recognition and treatment of NBTE can potentially prevent devastating embolic events like stroke.
    • Further research into the specific triggers and mechanisms of NBTE may lead to improved therapeutic strategies.
