Acute posterior circulation infarct due to bicuspid aortic valve vegetation: An uncommon stroke mechanism

Acute posterior circulation infarct due to bicuspid aortic valve vegetation: An uncommon stroke mechanism

Acute ischemic stroke may be the first clinical manifestation of the underlying cardioembolic source. We are reporting a 28-year-old man presenting with acute posterior circulation infarct due to underlying bicuspid aortic valve disease with vegetation detected by transesophageal echocardiography in...
