Article Synopsis
- A 31-year-old woman experienced a sudden headache and altered consciousness, leading to the discovery of a left acute subdural hematoma and a small aneurysm on her left distal posterior cerebral artery, which was treated with coil embolization.
- Two weeks later, she developed complete left hemiplegia due to an occluded right middle cerebral artery, requiring a mechanical thrombectomy that successfully restored blood flow.
- Ultimately, she was diagnosed with infective endocarditis after positive blood cultures revealed bacterial presence and a TEE identified vegetation on the mitral valve; she was treated with penicillin and discharged without neurological deficits.
