The diagnosis and treatment of stroke in a patient with cancer: nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE): a case report and review.

Abstract:

:Stroke in patients with cancer is different in terms of its etiology from stroke in the general population. Clinicians should be altered to the possibility of non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE), associated coagulopathy, and viable treatment options. We review the case of a 42-year-old woman with cerivcal carcinoma and no risk factors for stroke who suddenly developed difficulty with speech and right-sided sensory changes. Her complete work-up and course are addressed.
