Ender Embolik Fenomenler ile Seyreden İnfektif Endokardit Vakası

İnfektif endokardit çocukluk çağında ender olarak karşımı- za çıksa da önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedeni olma- ya devam etmektedir. Doğumsal kalp hastalıkları ve roma- tizmal kapak hasarları infektif endokardit için en önemli risk faktörleri olup, yapılan kardiyak cerrahi ve girişimsel müdahaleler riski daha da artırmaktadır. Hastalığın en önemli komplikasyonları konjestif kalp yetersizliği ve embolik fenomenlerdir. Bu makalede aort koarktasyonu nedeniyle balon anjioplasti yapıldıktan iki ay sonra akut iskemik inme nedeniyle başvuran ve endokardit tanısı alan 4 yaşında erkek hasta sunuldu. İzlemde tedavi altındayken septik embolilere bağlı parotit ve kas içi abse komplikas- yonları da gelişti

Rarely Seen Embolic Events Associated with Infective Endocarditis: Case Report

Although infective endocarditis is an uncommon disease during childhood, it has high rates of morbidity and morta- lity. Congenital heart diseases and rheumatic valve dama- ges are the most important predisposing factors for infecti- ve endocarditis and the risk is increased by heart surgery and interventional treatments. The most significant compli- cations of infective endocarditis are congestive heart failu- re and embolic events. We report a four-year-old boy pre- sented with acute ischemic stroke two months following balloon angioplasty for aortic coarctation diagnosed as infective endocarditis. During follow-up, parotid and intra- muscular abscess formation because of septic embolism were observed as complications of infective endocarditis
