Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right-sided middle cerebral artery infarction (Figure 1a) with infarct demarcation in the right hemispheric white matter. Within a few days the girl experienced complete remission of the clinical symptoms and 10 days later the MRI revealed a patent middle cerebral artery (Figure 1b).
Echocardiography of the left ventricle shows thrombus formation in the apex (a). Following thrombolytic therapy with enoxaparin, echocardiography revealed complete disappearance of the thrombus (b).
