Aim: To assess: (1) the prevalence of convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) in infective endocarditis (IE); (2) its relationship with IE features; (3) the associated lesions; (4) whether cSAH is a predictor of future hemorrhage; (5) whether cSAH could cause
A 49 year-old woman was hospitalized with headache and left-sided weakness. Computed tomographic scan and carotid angiogram revealed mycotic aneurysms of the bilateral middle cerebral artery with intracranial bleeding. Although all blood cultures were sterile, her physical examination suspected
A 20-year-old woman suffering from mitral valve endocarditis due to streptococcus faecalis infection after blunt trauma and splenectomy complained of severe headache 18 days later. Cerebral angiography showed a left posterior artery aneurysm. A craniotomy was performed and the aneurysm could be

A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for persistent fever, myalgias, articular pain, headache, and hypoaesthesia of the scalp. The clinical scenario was typical for giant-cell arteritis. During hospital stay, patient developed fugax amaurosis, stroke, and acute coronary syndrome. The
The patient, a 43-year-old man, had paroxysmal headache three months ago, and he had complained the left occipital sharp pain, which could be alleviated by itself, with alalia and the right side of the upper limb numbness. Head computed tomography (CT) revealed a left temporal lobe intraparenchymal
BACKGROUND
Infective endocarditis caused by a foreign body of the upper digestive tract is rare. We report a rare case of Granulicatella adiacens and Candida albicans coinfection acute endocarditis combined with systematic embolization caused by a fish bone from the esophagus penetrating into the
Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) revealing mycotic aneurysm (MA) is an exceptional occurrence. We report 2 cases of MA-related pure ASDH in the course of infective endocarditis (IE) without history of head trauma, hypertension or coagulopathy. Case 1: A 54-year-old man presented with a 10-day history
Background: Several case reports and reviews support a relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD) and infective endocarditis (IE). Here, we present a case of severe AD suspected of causing IE. Case presentation: A 21-year-old man with severe AD was admitted to our hospital due to
Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) as the presenting feature of infective endocarditis (IE) is rare. It has classically been described in association with the rupture of intracranial mycotic aneurysms (ICMA). Here we describe a very rare case of non-aneurysmal spontaneous SAH in a patient
We herein report a case of infective endocarditis associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in a 34-year-old man with Klinefelter syndrome. The patient was admitted with a fever and headache that had persisted for three weeks. Repeated blood cultures showed growth of Streptococcus oralis.
