    Acute embolism may occure after myocardial infarction caused by mobilized 
    mural thrombus or other cardiac disease (e.g. diseased valves). Other causes 
    are atrial fibrillation, polycythaemia and left atrial myxomas. Problems associated 
    with prosthetic valves are thrombosis (especially at the mitral position), 
    paravalvular leaks, endocarditis and degenerative changes in tissue valves. 
    Congenital cysts of the 
    liver are often combined with other cystic disorders, e.g. pancreatic 
    cysts and/or renal cysts. Most common kind of congenital cysts are solitary 
    cysts - shown in the image above. These cysts may increase in size and may 
    cause portal hypertension.

  It is not 
    easy to find an exactly corresponding slice to every pathological example! 
    For that reason the 
    FILM 
    (2)
    is 
    recommended! 
    Once opened you may use it for every pathological example.
