摘要：
Infective endocarditis can often involve the nervous system, resulting in stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, infectious aneurysm formation, cerebral abscess, and spinal epidural infection. Many of these problems require neurosurgical attention. Modern advances in neurosurgical critical care, computerization, instrumentation, and radiologic imaging have affected the treatments available to patients with neurosurgical manifestations of infective endocarditis. This paper is a brief overview of the contemporary management of neurosurgical complications of infective endocarditis.
