Abstrakt:	Paradoxical embolism is the passage of venous thrombi into the arterial circulation through a pulmonary or intracardiac shunt. We report the management of a 31-year-old patient who initially presented with chest pain and right brachiofacial paresis. A diagnosis of paradoxical cerebral embolism associated with a spontaneous venous thromboembolism and a patent foramen ovale was made. The patient benefited from thrombolytic therapy and lifelong anticoagulation with good recovery. This case showed that percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale needs to be discussed individually. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
