“…Non-compaction is known to occur in the right ventricle, as noted in this patient [2]. In addition, there was an associated congenital LV diverticulum that was not [6]. This combination of non-compaction with a LV diverticulum in an adult is very rare, even though embryologically intratrabecular sinusoids are involved in both conditions.…”

The purpose of this article is to provide a current review of multidetector CT (MDCT) and MRI findings and imaging protocols for the cardiovascular diseases that can precipitate systemic embolism. These conditions include intracardiac thrombus or tumors, paradoxical embolism through right-to-left shunts, and diseases of the thoracic aorta. MDCT and MRI may be helpful for detection of these conditions. Familiarity with the pathogenesis and CT and MRI appearance of these conditions is important as their detection may have a major impact on patient management.
