Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emboli to the brain can result in cerebrovascular accidents or strokes, which can cause neurological deficits and even death. Flank pain and renal failure are not typically associated with emboli to the brain. Sudden chest pain and dyspnea may be indicative of a pulmonary embolism, which is not the presumptive diagnosis given for this patient.
