Ischemic Stroke Revealing Libman-Sacks Endocarditis: A Case Report.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is a characteristic but rare feature of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which can be found in association with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), exposing the patient to an increased embolism risk, particularly the occurrence of ischemic stroke. We present a case involving a 64-year-old man who was admitted for ischemic stroke accompanied by a fever. Cardiac investigation revealed mitral vegetations along with severe mitral regurgitation.

Brain tumor revealed by atrial sinus block.

Bradycardia is rare in children and may be asymptomatic or cause fatigue or discomfort leading to syncope. It may be a warning sign of underlying pathology. A check-up for a cardiac or extra-cardiac organic cause should be performed.
