Abstract

The authors report a rare observation of left intraventricular thrombus in a 39 years old senegalese man with a dilated non-obstructive cardiomyopathy. With the echocardiographic follow-up, it was possible to follow the regression of the clot. Echocardiographic diagnosis and evolutive problems of such left intraventricular thrombus are reviewed.
