Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare, stress-related cardiomyopathy that occurs in postmenopausal women after emotional or physiological stressors. The prognosis is favorable with normalization of wall motion abnormalities within weeks. We report a rare case of tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy complicated by a left thrombus. Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries, although the echocardiography demonstrated the ballooning of the apex with hyperkinesis of the base in addition to a left ventricular thrombus. It is thought that this thrombus may have been caused by left ventricular dyskinesis. After short-term anticoagulant therapy, echocardiography revealed complete resolution of the left ventricular thrombus.
