摘要
Key Clinical MessageMitral valve aneurysm is a rare imaging finding most caused by infective endocarditis. The concurrent presence of an aortic valve aneurysm is unique and foretells a severe presentation that would require valve replacement during the same admission. A 42-year-old male patient presented with intermittent fever, night sweats, and weight loss for 2 months. TEE showed a rare finding of concurrent mitral and aortic valve aneurysms, and blood cultures grew streptococcus mutans. His infective endocarditis was successfully treated with antibiotics and placement of mechanical mitral and aortic valves.
