Key result
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis complicating mitral valve prolapse can present clinically as Parinaud's syndrome due to systemic embolization.
Highlights that nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis complicating mitral valve prolapse can present as Parinaud's syndrome due to systemic embolization.
May prompt NBTE evaluation in MVP patients with embolic events like Parinaud's syndrome; single case leaves open broader risk assessment.
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis is the most common form of endocarditis 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 feature was Parinaud's syndrome.
