case_images: Transesophageal echocardiography (A) 135 , (B) Mitral valve commissure (60 ). Mobile vegetation, 25 mm in size, is observed in the anterior mitral valve annulus (red arrow). Valve destruction is not observed. This is the portion exposed to reverse flow (green arrow).

case_images: Transthoracic echocardiography did not show vegetation, whereas transesophageal echocardiography showed mobile vegetation, 25 mm in size, in the anterior mitral valve annulus (Figure 1).
case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the head (A) fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery images, (B) diffusion-weighted images. Hyperintense areas, mainly in the parietal lobe, are sporadically observed (red arrow) and were considered septic cerebral embolisms.

case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging of the head (Figure 2) and diffusion-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery images showed 2-3 mm sporadic high-intensity areas, mainly in the parietal lobe, which were considered to be septic cerebral embolisms.
