Abstract:
We present a case of left ventricular thrombus in a child with a normal functioning left ventricle. The diagnosis was made by 2-dimensional echocardiography after 2 episodes of systemic emboli. Hereditary protein C deficiency diagnosed in the patient provides the probable pathogenesis of the thrombus formation. Systemic emboli necessitates cardiac examination, and in cases of unusual thrombi, hereditary or acquired thrombophilic risk factors should be considered.
