Rationale: Fungal endocarditis (FE) is a rare form of infective endocarditis. Compared to bacterial endocarditis, FE develops more slowly and insidiously, with nonspecific clinical manifestations, making diagnosis more challenging. Cases presenting with low back pain as the initial symptom are exceedingly rare, leading to a high risk of misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis.

High-risk populations include intravenous substance users, individuals with structural heart disease, those with intravascular devices, and those with prosthetic heart valves. In the emergency department, IE is often suspected in patients with a fever, known risk factors, and unexplained systemic symptoms due to systemic thromboemboli.

The authors present a case report of a 68-year-old man evaluated at the emergency department for repeated syncope, asthenia, and general malaise, suggesting heart failure in a patient with several comorbidities. At presentation, the patient was afebrile, but he had reported a low-grade fever in the previous six months. At first glance, transthoracic echocardiography was not clear, while transesophageal echocardiography revealed an echo-free image at the level of the non-coronary sinus of the aortic root, suggestive of a pseudoaneurysm, communicating with the right atrium with continuous systo-diastolic flow, compatible with the aorto-cavitary fistula between the aortic root and the RA.
