Abstrakt:	Background: Aneurysms of the internal iliac artery in infective endocarditis are extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature, and Rothia dentocariosa infective endocarditis are rare. Analysis: We describe the case of a previously healthy 62-year-old male who presented a Rothia dentocariosa infective endocarditis. Results: Multi-modality imaging revealed an aneurysm of the left internal iliac artery, which was clinically silent. The patient was treated with antibiotics and semi-emergent bioprosthesis aortic valve replacement. Follow-up multi-modality imaging showed the regression of the aneurysm. Conclusion: This case shows that an aneurysm of the internal iliac artery in infective endocarditis can regress under antibiotherapy alone. This case also highlights the ability of PET/CT to identify and follow such an aneurysm.
