A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common heart defect in the general population. Paradoxical embolization of material through a PFO has been an identified cause of stroke. Taking measures to recognize a PFO in a patient undergoing intra-arterial particulate embolization is necessary in order to reduce the risk of stroke secondary to paradoxical embolism. We present a case of paradoxical stroke in a patient with a highly vascular head and neck tumor and an asymptomatic PFO.
卵圆孔未闭（PFO）是一种常见的人群中心脏缺陷。物质通过 PFO 的反常栓塞已被确定为中风的一个原因。在接受动脉内颗粒栓塞的患者中，采取措施识别 PFO 对于降低因反常栓塞引起的中风风险是必要的。我们报告了一例患有高血管性头颈部肿瘤和无症状 PFO 的患者的反常性中风病例。
