Abstract
Cardiogenic embolism is a major cause of stroke and often leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the recent advances in our understanding of the pathophysiology of stroke and its risk factors, diagnosis and therapy; some case scenarios still present a real challenge for the treating physicians. We report a case of a 38 year old male patient presenting with multi-territory cerebral infarctions due to a left ventricular mobile thrombus complicated by pulseless right arm later investigated and diagnosed to be takayasu’s arteritis. Gradual introduction of anticoagulation and steroids coupled with a multidisciplinary team approach advocating careful daily clinical assessment of the patient and regular echocardiographic and neuroimaging studies have resulted in a better management and achievement of therapeutic goals.
