Double Giant Lambl’s Excrescence of aortic valve causing posterior circulation stroke
Tóm tắt
Diagnostic evaluation of embolic neurologic events requires the consideration of cardiac causes. Lambl’s Excrescences (LE)are filiform fronds that occur at sites of valvular closure due to “wear and tear” (Lambl Wien Med Wschr 6:244–247, 1856). The complex form of LE is “giant Lambl’s Excrescences” which results from the adherence of multiple adjacent excrescences that grow large. We recently had young male adult who presented with features of posterior circulation stroke (basilar) and detected to have two separate giant Lambl’s Excrescences on the aortic valve and treated successfully.
