Cerebral mycotic aneurysms secondary to Streptococcus Agalactiae induced infective endocarditis

Abstract

Subarachnoid and intraparenchymal haemorrhages due to cerebral mycotic aneurysms are rare and associated with high mortality. Streptococcus agalactiae, is a rare cause of endocarditis and there are no reported cases of cerebral mycotic aneurysms secondary to this organism. We report a rare case of streptococcus agalctiae induced intracranial mycotic aneurysm.
