- Abstract
- Background: Embolic stroke undetermined source (ESUS), which is defined as nonlacunar infarction in the absence of cardioembolic sources, proximal artery stenosis excluded by echocardiogram, holter monitoring and vascular images, is reported to account for 9% to 25% of ischemic stroke. Because the source of embolism remains unclear, it is an important task to find the etiology for secondary prevention of stroke recurrent.
Case Report: We report a case of uterine myoma found in an embolic stroke patient with incidentally found a huge uterine myoma and related deep vein thrombosis.
Conclusion: Uterine myoma in a middle-aged woman can be thought to be the etiological cause that can contributor to deep vein thrombosis, and it is necessary to pay attention as the etiology of ESUS.
