Abstract

Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis is the most common form of endocar ditis found at autopsy. Systemic embolization may complicate this condition in patients with mitral valve prolapse. The authors report a case of mitral valve prolapse and nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis in which the presenting fea ture was Parinaud's syndrome.
