Streptococcus pneumoniae endocarditis is most commonly associated with pneumonia. It is relatively uncommon disease but its severity makes it clinically relevant. We present a case and review of sinusitis complicated by both pneumococcal endocarditis and cavernous sinus thrombosis. Both endocarditis and dural sinus thrombosis are known complications of facial infections. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of both S. pneumoniae endocarditis and dural sinus thrombosis complicating sinusitis. A case report and review of the literature is presented.
肺炎链球菌性心内膜炎最常与肺炎相关。它是一种相对罕见的疾病，但其严重性使其具有临床相关性。我们报告一例并发肺炎球菌性心内膜炎和海绵窦血栓形成的鼻窦炎病例并进行文献复习。心内膜炎和硬脑膜窦血栓形成均为面部感染已知的并发症。据我们所知，这是首例同时并发肺炎链球菌性心内膜炎和硬脑膜窦血栓形成的鼻窦炎病例。本文呈现了一份病例报告及文献复习。
