Core Tip	Patent foramen ovale (PFO) are common but usually closed and asymptomatic due to the greater pressure in the left heart. They however pose a particular risk for patients with large pulmonary emboli (PE) where they can open providing a right to left shunt when the right heart pressure rises due to pulmonary arterial obstruction by PE. In these circumstances thrombus can transit the PFO paradoxically embolising systemically. We report a case of a patient with a large PE who had a cerebral embolus where thombus is imaged straddling the PFO at computer tomography pulmonary angiography.
