The most common intracardiac shunt is a patent foramen ovale (PFO). Since the transition of a thrombus formed in the right heart to the left heart and systemic circulation through the PFO is a temporary situation, the entrapped thrombus in the PFO is extremely rare. Herein, we present a case, including the diagnosis and treatment, of a paradoxical embolism in a 53-year-old female with a non-vehicle traffic accident who developed a pulmonary embolism and acute cerebral infarction.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessParadoxical EmbolismEntrapped Thrombus In PfoSurgical Treatment In Paradoxical EmbolismArticle223232234WOS:00068317760001210.4274/imj.galenos.2021.09872
