Abstract:
A case of cardioembolic stroke in a patient with sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. The patient presented with chief complaints of syncope, with slurring of speech and a history of deviation of angle of mouth to the right side, which resolved over one day. Examination revealed no focal neurological deficit. CT Brain revealed a lacunar infarct over the left frontal cortex. Echocardiography showed sinus of Valsalva aneurysm of the non-coronary cusp. Hence a diagnosis of cardioembolic stroke secondary to thrombus present in the sinus of Valsalva of the aneurysm was considered. This is a rare presentation of Sinus of Valsalva as a cardioembolic stroke.
