Abstract
Intracardiac blood cysts are thin-walled cysts, lined by flattened, cobblestone-shaped epithelium, and filled with nonorganized blood. During autopsy, they are found on cardiac valves in approximately 50% of infants below the age of 2 months and are rarely found after the age of 2 years. We report a rare case of blood cyst attached to the mitral valve and a possible cause of an embolic stroke.Entities:
