A stat non-contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed an acute hypodensity in the right lentiform nucleus territory, consistent with acute ischemic stroke (Figure 1A). The MRI of the head confirmed the presence of the ischemic stroke in the lentiform nucleus territory without any obvious surrounding edema or midline shift (Figure 1B).

The TEE showed no left atrial appendage thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast but was notable for a small echo density on the anterior aortic valve leaflets, consistent with Lambl's excrescences (Figure 2).
