摘要：
One of the devastating neurologic complications of infective endocarditis is middle cerebral artery territory cerebral infarction due to embolic events causing ischaemia. We encountered an interesting case of infective endocarditis complicated by cerebral infarction in a patient with traumatic brain injury who had undergone craniotomy a month before the event. His head injury and its complications mislead the possibility of early suspicion of infective endocarditis.
