She was admitted with a cerebrovascular accident and the transesophageal echocardiogram revealed the presence of a multiple papillary fibroelastoma in the aortic valve.

The patient was discharged in good conditions and after 8 months of follow up, she has no neurological abnormality and is in functional class I
