Figure (A) Computed tomography of the chest of the patient showing pulmonary edema, a radiographic finding seen in pulmonary air embolism. (B) Computed tomography of the brain of the patient, showing a subtle left temporal hypodensity (arrowhead), consistent with an acute left temporal infarct. (C) Echocardiographic 4-chamber view of the patient's heart showing a patent foramen ovale (arrow) and an atrial septal aneurysm (arrowhead) with bulging of the atrial septum toward the left atrium. (D) Echocardiogram with bubble study showing passage of bubbles (circled) through a patent foramen ovale to the left side of the heart at rest. LA = left atrium; LV = left ventricle; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle. The American Journal of Medicine , e549-e550DOI: ( /j.amjmed ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
