The authors report a case of a female patient with an unusual course of pulmonary embolism, presenting with recurrent syncopes with bradycardia. An intracardiac embolus impacted in the patents oval foramen was found on transoesophageal echocardiography examination. The syncopes resolved and the intracardiac thromboembolus decreased after the introduction of a caval filter and with anticoagulation treatment.

Keywords: Key words: pulmonary embolism, syncope, intracardial embolus.
