La asociación de accidente cerebral isquémico con foramen oval permeable, no ha sido extensamente estudiada, y frecuentemente el sitio de origen de la embolia no se detecta a pesar de los estudios de rutina. Se presenta el caso de un paciente joven con accidente cerebral vascular isquémico y foramen oval permeable en el contexto de síndrome de May Thurner. El síndrome de May Thurner es una entidad poco estudiada en la literatura médica y además se lo ha relacionado poco con accidente cerebral vascular isquémico, pero en pacientes con foramen oval permeable sin evidencia de la fuente embolígena, es interesante descartarlo como causa de embolia paradojal.
The association of cerebral ischemic attack with patent foramen ovale has not been extensively studied, and frequently the site of origin of embolism is not detected despite routine studies. We present the case of a young patient with ischemic stroke and permeable oval foramen in the context of May Thurner syndrome. The May Thurner syndrome is an entity scarcely studied in the medical literature and it has also been infrequently related to ischemic vascular cerebral accident, but in patients with permeable oval foramen without evidence of the emboligen source, it is interesting to rule it out as a cause of paradoxical embolism.
