Abstract
A 36-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 3-day history of an occipital headache associated with transient visual impairment and short-term memory loss. MRI of the brain showed innumerable focal embolic infarcts of differing ages, for which a cause could not be determined. The patient was discharged and readmitted 7 weeks later with acute aphasia and a right-sided hemiplegia. CT of the abdomen revealed a right-sided ovarian mass and prominent retroperitoneal nodes, which cytology confirmed to be metastatic ovarian cancer. 2015 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
