Mozkové cévní příhody jsou třetí nejčastější příčinou smrti v řadě zemí. Etiologicky převažují ischemické, kteréjsou z velké části způsobeny embolizací z velkých tepen hlavy a krku a oblouku aorty, méně často ze srdce. Zjistitpřesně etiologii se však podaří jen u malé části nemocných. Kazuistika uvádí nemocnou s mobilním trombemv odstupu vnitřní karotické tepny diagnostikovaným duplexní sonografií. Pacientka odmítla chirurgické řešení,během dvou dnů došlo k recidivně mozkové cévní příhody při embolizaci prokázaného trombu.
