Abstract
The initial lesions of infective endocarditis (IE) are mainly valvular, but sometimes may cause other cardiac or extracardiac complications. Cerebral involvement is the most frequent site of extracardiac complications caused by IE. They might be the mode of revelation in 10 to 20% of patients. These complications increase morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a patient with IE complicated by a fistulised abscess in the pulmonary artery leading to a stroke.
