  ABSTRACT: A 59 year old white male presented with a clinical picture typical of lacunar stroke. However, a thorough diagnostic work up showed that the most probable mechanism of stroke was paradoxical brain embolism through a patent foramen ovale. The clinical-neuroradiological mismatch that ultimately lead to the correct interpretation is discussed.
