Figure 2

Transthoracic echocardiography in (A) parasternal long axis view showing severe mitral annular calcification and thickened mitral leaflet; (B) four-chamber view demonstrating moderate mitral valve stenosis by the pressure half-time method; and (C) five-chamber view showing severe aortic stenosis by continuous wave Doppler interrogation. LA - left atrium; LV - left ventricle; RV - right ventricle

Figure 4

Computed tomography of the brain showing (A) frontal intraparenchymal cerebral hemorrhage and perilesional edema in transversal view; (B) subarachnoid hemorrhage in sagittal view; and (C) frontal intraparenchymal hemorrhage in frontal view. The arrows indicate (A) a 17 mm frontal hematoma with peri-hemorrhagic edema; (B) left parietal subarachnoid hemorrhage; and (C) frontal hematoma.

Figure 5

Repeated computed tomography of the brain showing new occipitotemporal cortical hypodensity and parenchymal swelling. The arrows indicate a subacute ischemic lesion in the occipitotemporal cortex together with perilesional swelling.

Figure 6

Initial (A) transthoracic echocardiography in short axis view showing calcified aortic valves and repeated (B) echocardiography with suspicion of a small mass attached to the aortic cusp.The arrows indicate (A) a degenerative tricuspid aortic valve and (B) a small mass attached to the aortic valve.
