Abstract:

Infective endocarditis related stroke is clinically rare and has high mortality rate, atypical course and imaging. Due to the lack of clinical understanding, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis and mistreatment, followed by poor prognosis. This paper reports a case of infective endocarditis with hemorrhagic cerebral infarction. The purpose is to improve the clinicians' cognition of this disease, in order to give patients early targeted treatment and improve their prognosis.
