Embolization of infective endocarditis vegetation causes intracranial hemorrhage with hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke.

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare, but potentially fatal, infectious disease. One of the common complications of IE is the embolization of endocardial vegetation with subsequent intracerebral artery obstruction that causes acute ischemic stroke. Herein, we present a case report of a patient presenting with a neurological manifestation that turned out to be a complication of IE.
