Abstract
Neurological disorders are rare complications of foam sclerotherapy. Visual disturbances and headache are the most commonly reported events and are thought to be equivalent to migraine with aura. Exceptionally, strokes have been reported. Papillary fibroelastoma is a rare cardiac tumor, which may embolize in cerebral arteries. We report the case of a patient in whom neurological disorders occurred during a session of foam sclerotherapy, and led to the discovery of a cardiac fibroelastoma.
