A Rare Case of Pyogenic Intracranial Ventriculitis Disseminated From Infective Endocarditis

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Pyogenic ventriculitis (PV) is a severe intracranial infection characterized by the presence of suppurative fluid within the ventricles. Common sources include trauma, meningitis, or ruptured brain abscesses. Here, we present a case of PV disseminating from infective endocarditis (IE), a phenomenon reported only three other times in medical literature [1].
