Recurrent cerebral embolism secondary to esophageal and atrial foreign body complicated by infective endocarditis  Hui Liang, MD, Ziqi Xu, MD, Qiang Feng, MD, Liang Ma, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 148, Issue 5, Pages e213-e214 (November 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2014.08.012 Copyright © 2014 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 A and B, Brain magnetic resonance images with diffusion-weighted imaging (A) and apparent diffusion coefficient (B) demonstrated acute infarcts in bilateral cerebral hemisphere. C, Echocardiography revealed a moderately sized, nonhomogeneous mass in the left atrium.

Figure 2 Thoracic computed tomography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. A foreign body was seen piercing the left atrium through the esophagus (red arrow; A and B), surrounded by an irregular mass (green arrow; C).
