Abstract

ABSTRACT
Left ventricular (LV) thrombi in the presence of normal Ventricular function are
uncommon. We report a 7-year old boy who presented with an LV thrombus in
the setting of normal LV function identified by echocardiography, to highlight the
rarity of this entity and its clinical significance. The thrombus disappeared after a
few days of anticoagulant and steroid therapy without symptoms of embolization.
