Abstract

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is identified in approximately 27% of healthy individuals undergoing routine autopsy and in 25% of the general population on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). PFO generally considered benign, but has been associated with stroke, migraine and diving decompression sickness. We presented a 49-year-old woman in which a thrombus was entrapped in a patent foramen ovale.
