The shape of the CCE was rounded or oval in all cases, with a mean attenuation of 211.4 HU. One patient presented distal migration of the hyperdense area attributable to the CCE in a subsequent CT scan, probably due to disintegration of the embolus.

According to the TOAST classification, stroke was cardioembolic in 4 cases (44.4%), atherosclerotic in 3 (33.3%), and of undetermined origin in 2 patients (22.2%). We identified the following heart diseases: atrial fibrillation in 2 patients (22.2%), severe aortic stenosis and ischaemic heart disease in one patient (11.1%), and infectious endocarditis in one patient (11.1%) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0010">Table 2</a>).</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="tbl0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A possible calcified source was found in 6 patients (66.7%) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#tbl0015">Table 3</a>).

MRI, specifically, is able to distinguish fibrin-rich thrombi from those with abundant red blood cells.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> However, this differentiation may be complex and have limited benefit in normal clinical practice. However, calcified emboli may be simply and reliably diagnosed by CT, a readily available technique frequently used in the management of stroke patients. Together with the hyperdensity of the occluded vessel, the loss of grey-white differentiation, and sulcal effacement, CCE may be an early CT finding in patients with acute ischaemic stroke.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">While CCE is infrequently reported in the literature, recent studies have described considerable prevalence (2.7%) among stroke patients undergoing CT studies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> The risk of stroke recurrence in these patients is high, at approximately 50%<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,5</span></a>; however, this early recurrence was not observed in any patient in our series. Despite the epidemiological relevance and the prognostic and therapeutic implications of CCE, the condition is underdiagnosed. Up to 27% of patients may be misdiagnosed, and up to 9% of CCEs may go undetected in the preliminary analysis of a CT scan.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Distinguishing CCE from intrinsic vascular calcification may represent a diagnostic challenge. One of the parameters to be assessed for this purpose is the location of the calcification.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a> Thus, within intracranial arteries, calcifications are more frequently located in the carotid siphon and are associated with atherosclerosis, but rarely involve the MCA or anterior cerebral artery.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0030"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> The presence of a calcified lesion in the MCA, accompanied by infarction in the territory distal to the lesion, strongly suggests CCE as the most probable cause of stroke. More than 75% of patients had also undergone CT scans prior to the ischaemic event, revealing no calcification, which, together with lesion location, supports the embolic origin of the calcification. CCEs are generally small in size (2-3 mm diameter), with significantly higher density (162 HU) than that of intraluminal thrombi (typically 50-70 HU). Lastly, rounded or oval shapes, rather than linear or tube shapes typical of vessel wall calcifications, also support the diagnosis of CCE.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Although CCE may be explained by displacement of the embolus after a heart or carotid vascular intervention, catheterisation or surgery,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,7–9</span></a> cervical manipulation,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> or cardiopulmonary resuscitation,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> embolism is spontaneous in the great majority of cases, as in our series.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,11</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In line with other published studies,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> the embolic source could be identified in most of our patients. In our series, embolisms were classified as atherothrombotic in 4 patients (44.4%), cardioembolic in 3 patients (33.3%), and of undetermined origin in 2 patients (22.2%), according to the TOAST classification. Furthermore, 6 patients (66.6%) presented carotid (33.3%) or cardiac (33.3%) calcifications with potential involvement in the CCE.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Bilateral CCEs suggest a left annular/valvular source or origin in the aortic arch, whereas recurrent ipsilateral events suggest calcified carotid stenosis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> In our series, 22.2% of patients presented degenerative aortic valve disease with sclerosis and calcification; this contrasts with the results of other series that suggest aortic heart disease as the most frequent cause,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> with up to one-third of patients requiring subsequent surgery.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> In one of our patients, we detected severe aortic insufficiency secondary to endocarditis, together with degenerative signs in the mitral valve. Although CCE is usually related to a long-term complication of endocarditis, hearts with an underlying calcified valve disease may be more vulnerable to infection.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However, it is frequently difficult to establish a definitive causal relationship with the calcified source, given the high frequency of some of these findings in the elderly population. In fact, the association between CCE and some heart diseases, such as annular calcification, is controversial.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15–17</span></a> In other cases, as occurred in one-third of our patients, the cause of calcification cannot be identified. Such factors as age and comorbidities may limit the diagnostic screening assessments performed; as a result, some conditions with relevance to CCE may go undetected, with calcified atheromatosis of the aortic arch being one example. Therefore, screening for cardiac and carotid diseases becomes especially relevant in patients with CCE, with a view to indicating surgery for secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease.</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There is little evidence on acute-phase reperfusion therapy in patients with CCE. Regarding intravenous thrombolytic treatment, both negative<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0090"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18,19</span></a> and positive results are reported in the literature.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4,5</span></a> Theoretically, we should not expect thrombolytic treatment to be efficacious, due to the calcified nature of the embolus. However, mechanical thrombectomy, which is able to remove the CCE, is a promising alternative. Nevertheless, this technique has shown limited effectiveness to date, partly due to the hardness of the calcified plaque preventing adequate adaptation to stent mesh, and also to the higher number of reported complications associated with this procedure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">20,21</span></a> Only one of our patients was treated with mechanical thrombectomy by aspiration, which was unsuccessful. The technological development of more sophisticated stent retrievers or thromboaspiration devices may lead to better results in the future.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">CCE is a reasonably frequent condition, although it may go undetected during diagnosis. Recognising the condition is essential, as it may help to determine the aetiology of the ischaemic stroke and, therefore, its treatment and prognosis.
