Abstract

A 59-year-old man developed brain embolism in the frontal and parietal cortex. Brain CT showed a high-density spot in the upper branch of the left middle cerebral artery, indicating calcified cerebral embolism. Calcified amorphous tumor attached to the mitral valve was identified as the cause of embolism. After surgical resection, anticoagulation was started and recurrent stroke did not occur.
