Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis is a rare condition
characterized by the formation of thrombotic vegetations on
heart valve leaflets, leading to valvular dysfunction, heart failure
and thromboembolic events. It is known to be associated with
other diseases and some cases remain undiagnosed or can be
diagnosed in the postmortem analysis. Surgical excision of the
mass may be necessary to prevent further embolic events and
other complications. In this article, we report a young patient
with non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis, whose medical
history was significant for primary hypoparathyroidism and a
positive family history of coagulation disorders.
