Service d'Explorations fonctionnelles cardio-vasculaire; Hôpital Cardiologique The authors describe the case of a patient referred for evaluation of multiinfarct dementia. Conventional echocardiography revealed an aneurysm of the interatrial septum. A transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated surimposed thrombus. This rare cause of systemic emboli can be diagnosed only by transesophageal echocardiog raphy and is of major interest to avoid recurrence of ischemic strokes.
