Neuropsychiatric disorder as early clinical presentation of marantic endocarditis in patient with newly diagnosed poorly differentiated esophago ‐gastric junction adenocarcinoma: A case report

Transesophageal cardiac echocolor-Doppler: large package of endocardial vegetations encompassing the posterior mitral leaflet, especially at P2-P3 level; similar lesions also at the free edge of the anterior mitral flap in A2. Key Clinical MessageNeuropsychiatric symptoms, depression, and progressive mental confusion should not be overlooked as onset symptoms of multiple cerebral ischemic lesions due to cardiac embolization. Comprehensive clinical evaluation due to progressive anemia led to the diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction as cause of embolizing nonbacterial mitral endocarditis.
