Abstract

Rheumatic fever is still the most common cause of mitral stenosis with its
symptoms appearing clinically years after acute infection. Mitral valve stenosis is
thrombogenic even if the patient is in sinus rhythm. Here we present a case of
mitral stenosis presented to us with signs and symptoms of acute
cerebrovascular events. It is a common finding in valvular heart disease with
atrial fibrillation , but in this case it happened in sinus rhythm.
