Abstract
Non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is characterized by vegetations on cardiac valves consisting of fibrin and platelet aggregates that are devoid of inflammation or bacteria. Diagnosis is often challenging and is aided by a high index of suspicion. These factors are reflected by the case of a 53 year old woman with a history of recurrent idiopathic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prior to presentation at our institution to which she was admitted because of right upper extremity numbness and weakness.
