An Unusual Complication of Infective Endocarditis Involving Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Abstract

Bicuspid aortic valve is commonly associated with infective endocarditis with serious peri annular complications. We report a case of 37-year-old male patient presented with infective endocarditis involving bicuspid aortic valve with leaflet perforation and severe aortic regurgitation. Mitral valve was involved secondary to aortic valve endocarditis as a kissing lesion with severe mitral regurgitation. Anterior mitral leaflet (AML) had aneurysmal dilatation with mobile vegetations inside it. In colour Doppler, AML aneurysm was looking like a fireball inside the left atrium. Patient was treated with antibiotics and referred to surgery for aortic and mitral valve replacement.
