Objective. Endocarditis can have profound and devastating neurological consequences, with the vast majority of these complications in patients with left-sided valvular disease. The approach to the acute management of stroke in children with infective endocarditis is limited by the inadequacy of published data on their clinical course and outcome. Case report. This case report presents a 12 year old girl with diagnosed endocarditis, complicated with intracranial hemorrhage, due to the rupture of an aneurysm of the peripheral branch medial cerebral artery and gradient therapeutic approach, with an excellent final result. Conclusion. Congestive heart failure resulting from valvular insufficiency required mitral valve replacement, after cerebral aneurysm clipping.

Mycotic intracranial aneurysms are of infectious origin and, even nowadays, their treatment remains controversial with advocates for either surgical or medical treatment. We present the case of a 58-year-old patient who was admitted to the hospital with a left hemiparesis due to a large right parietal haematoma. An angiogram demonstrated a small vascular malformation localized on a distal parietal branch of the right Sylvian artery. The patient was operated on and recovered well. Nevertheless, a control angiogram demonstrated the disappearance of the previous malformation but showed a new saccular aneurysm localized on the right rolandic artery. At the same time the patient became septic and the diagnosis of endocarditis complicated by mycotic aneurysm was confirmed. The patient was then medically treated with antibiotics for two months and several angiograms showed the progressive disappearance of this aneurysm. Different treatments of intracranial mycotic aneurysms are finally reviewed and a therapeutic approach is discussed.
