We report the case of a 21-year-old female patient with no prior cardiovascular history, at only 3 months postpartum, who was presented to the emergency room for rapidly worsening dyspnea, the physical examination showed low O2 stats and crackling lung sounds with signs of respiratory struggle, electrocardiograms (EKG) showed a regular sinus tachycardia at 145bpm with negative T waves in apicolateral leads. The patient was intubated and benefited from an emergency thoracic computed tomography (CT) angiography which showed a bilateral hilar alveolar-interstitial syndrome without signs of pulmonary embolism, the transthoracic echocardiography showed a huge obstructive mass of the left ventricle with segmental kinetic disorders .To better understand the nature of this mass a transoesophageal echocardiography was performed which was in favour of a thrombus, unfortunately, the patient died the same day before any procedure could have been done.
