In a 65-year-old man with infective endocarditis, multiple mitral valve aneurysms were detected by echocardiography. Surgical treatment was successful. Aneurysms of the valve are a relatively rare complication of infective endocarditis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications such as embolisation and rupture of the aneurysms. For a patient with a history of unknown fever, this point should be kept in mind.
在一名65岁患有感染性心内膜炎的男性患者中，经超声心动图检查发现多个二尖瓣动脉瘤。手术治疗成功。瓣膜动脉瘤是感染性心内膜炎相对罕见的并发症。及时诊断和治疗可预防诸如动脉瘤栓塞和破裂等并发症。对于有不明发热病史的患者，应牢记这一点。
