    Paradoxical Embolism After a Traffic Accident: A Rare Case of Thrombus Entrapped in a Patent Foramen Ovale
    (Istanbul Training & Research Hospital, 2021) Kandemir, Serif Ahmet; Alsancak, Yakup; Gurbuz, Ahmet Seyfeddin; Duzenli, Mehmet Akif
    Paradoxical embolism is the passage of a thrombus formed in the venous system through shunts in the lung or heart into the systemic circulation. 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.
