Recurrent embolic strokes due to antiphospholipid syndrome and non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis in a patient with basal cell carcinoma
CONCLUSION: Outside of SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome, NBTE is a rare and underdiagnosed disease associated with thromboembolic events. Adequate anticoagulation is a cornerstone of its treatment. Anticoagulation management during perioperative care and valve surgery deserves specific attention and helps to protect the patient from embolic complications. In the case of stroke and thromboembolic events of unclear cause or suspected NBTE, echocardiography and thrombophilia assessments including an immunological workup are recommended.PMID:37170311 | PMC:PMC10176810 | DOI:10.1186/s13019-023-02266-6

A Case Series Of Non-Bacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Associated With Gynecological Malignancies (P6.248)
Conclusions:NBTE is an important ischemic stroke mechanism. We have reported three cases where the underlying malignancy was gynecological (endometrial, ovarian, and cervical). In the first two cases, the malignancy was discovered during the investigations for the stroke mechanism, while the third had a known underlying malignancy. This series highlights the need to consider gynecological malignancies as an underlying cause of stroke in young women; and that the ischemic event can occur prior to the malignancy diagnosis.Disclosure: Dr. Schabas has nothing to disclose.
