We experienced two cases of infective endocarditis associated with cerebral mycotic aneurysm. Case 1: 58 year-old man underwent emergency aortic and mitral valve replacement due to active infective endocarditis and congestive heart failure diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography. After the operation, he did not wake up and his bilateral pupils were dilated. Computed tomography demonstrated massive intracranial hemorrhage and severe brain edema. He died from multiple organ failure 22th postoperative day. Rupture of cerebral mycotic aneurysm was strongly suspected. Case 2: 56 year-old man was admitted with severe headache and high grade fever. Computed tomography demonstrated intracranial hemorrhage. Cerebral mycotic aneurysm was detected at left distal middle cerebral artery by cerebral angiography. Infective endocarditis and mitral regurgitation were also diagnosed by echocardiography. He underwent cerebral mycotic aneurysmectomy after intensive antibiotics therapy, followed by successful mitral valve replacement. We review the literatures and discuss the problems of surgical management of infective endocarditis with cerebral mycotic aneurysm.
我们遇到了两例与脑真菌性动脉瘤相关的感染性心内膜炎病例。病例1:一名58岁男性因经食管超声心动图诊断为活动性感染性心内膜炎和充血性心力衰竭,接受了急诊主动脉瓣和二尖瓣置换术。术后,他未苏醒,双侧瞳孔散大。计算机断层扫描显示大量颅内出血和严重脑水肿。他在术后第22天死于多器官功能衰竭。强烈怀疑脑真菌性动脉瘤破裂。病例2:一名56岁男性因严重头痛和高热入院。计算机断层扫描显示颅内出血。脑血管造影在左大脑中动脉远端检测到脑真菌性动脉瘤。超声心动图还诊断出感染性心内膜炎和二尖瓣反流。他在强化抗生素治疗后接受了脑真菌性动脉瘤切除术,随后成功进行了二尖瓣置换术。我们回顾了文献并讨论了感染性心内膜炎合并脑真菌性动脉瘤的外科治疗问题。
