Abstract
A 9-year-old boy with a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and old myocardial infarction with mural thrombi is reported. The cause of the myocardial infarction was congenital coronary artery fistula originating from the left coronary artery and emptying into the right atrium.
Although a common cause of strokes in adults, myocardial infarction has infrequently been reported as the source of emboli in children.
