- Abstract
- Malignancy-related cerebral embolism, which is generally attributed to hypercoagulability, is an uncommon cause of
ischemic stroke. However, ischemic stroke developed with intracardiac extension of lung cancer has rarely been
reported. We report a case of acute embolic stroke caused by pulmonary adenocarcinoma that invaded the right inferior
pulmonary vein and extended into the left atrium. Microembolism developing as a result of lung cancer may have been
the cause of stroke in this case. Key Words: Cerebral infarction, Lung neoplasm, Adenocarcinoma
