Abstract

Cardiac embolic origin is a significant etiological factor in patients presenting with stroke. Thrombi located in the left ventricle may result from various underlying causes. This case report examines a thrombus located in the left ventricular apex of a 76-year-old female patient and presents a comprehensive analysis of the clinical findings, laboratory results, and multimodality imaging techniques used. Furthermore, this report provides a detailed summary of the diagnostic approach to Loeffler endocarditis, a rare but important differential diagnosis.
