Neste trabalho é discutida a importância do FOP nos indivíduos que tenham tido um AVC. Para tal é apresentado um caso clínico de uma doente internada com AVC na qual se evidenciou a presença de um FOP. Partindo do caso clínico serão discutidos os diferentes métodos de diagnosticar um FOP, bem como a melhor forma de gerir um AVC num doente com um FOP, havendo uma demonstração prática de como estes conhecimentos podem ser aplicados na prática clínica.
Existem diversas formas de se estabelecer o diagnóstico de FOP, sendo consensual que a ETE é actualmente o MCD de referência para este fim. A gestão dos doentes com AVC e FOP é contudo menos consensual: os benefícios de uma intervenção aparentam ser apenas visíveis em intervenções de prevenção secundária de recorrência de AVC, sendo debatível se uma estratégia apenas com uso de fármacos é superior ao uso de fármacos em combinação com o encerramento do FOP.
In this work we discuss the relevance of patent foramen ovale (PFO) on the individuals who had a stroke. In this context we present a clinical case of a patient admitted with a stroke whom was diagnosed a PFO. Taking this case as the starting point, the different methods of establishing the diagnosis of PFO and its management on patients who have had a stroke are reviewed. Practical demonstrations of this knowledge are also discussed. There are multiple ways to diagnose a PFO. It is consensual that transesophageal echocardiography is the current goldstandard to achieve this goal. However, the management of stroke patients with a PFO is not so clear: there seems that only interventions on the context of secondary prevention of stroke have benefits. The superiority of the exclusive use of drugs compared to the combined use of drugs and closure of PFO is also a matter of debate
