Left ventricular thrombus in a patient with recurrent ischemic stroke events —The role of echocardiography
We present a patient with an ischemic stroke, and the cardiac ultrasound revealed a reduced ejection fraction and the presence of LV thrombus at the apex. The patient had no prior history of cardiovascular diseases. Even in a resource-limited setting, cardiac ultrasound is recommended to investigate stroke or transient ischemic attack events, especially in patients with a prior history of myocardial infarction. Although patients with LV thrombus should be treated with oral anticoagulants for at least 3  months, the role of direct oral anticoagulants and the optimal period of anticoagulation in this setting needs further investigation.

Vertebral artery thrombosis in a 7-year-old child
We present the case history of a 7-year-old boy who was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit of a county hospital with symptoms of facial palsy, progrediating ataxia and somnolence. Contrast-enhanced angiographic MR images of the skull revealed acute ischemic lesions and suggested stenosis of the left vertebral artery, then it was confirmed by TOF (time of flight) angiography of vessels of the neck and cervical ultrasound examination. The arterial thrombus causing ischaemia was eliminated by drug treatment and the rehabilitation process could be started. The patient's condition improved considerably following that...
