| Popis: |
A mycotic aneurysm is a serious, life-threatening complication occurring in 3-10% of patients with infective endocarditis. Splenic artery mycotic aneurysm is an extremely rare complication to occur, and it has not been previously reported with Streptococcus salivarius infective endocarditis. We are reporting a case of a 57-year-old woman with Streptococcus salivarius mitral valve endocarditis, complicated by a leaking splenic mycotic aneurysm which was successfully managed with embolisation. It is important to consider this rare complication in infective endocarditis patients with an acute abdomen. |
