Abstract
The floating mural thrombus of abdominal aorta is a rare and serious pathology detected as cause of peripheral and visceral embolism. Isolated aortic mural thrombosis is an unusual pathology occurring in an apparently normal aorta. A thorough search of embolic source must be initiated. Therapeutic management is based on systemic anticoagulation with the use of surgical approach in some cases.
