Infectious endocarditis is considered as a potentially serious disease despite all advances in diagnosis and treatment. The left heart valves are the most affected, and embolic events, particularly mycotic aneurysms, perforations and abscesses, are their main but life-threatened complications. We report on a patient suffering from Enterococcus faecalis aortic endocarditis complicated by spondylodiscitis, moderate aortic insufficiency and cerebral hemorrhage due to the rupture of a mycotic aneurysm. We will emphasize the management of this mycotic aneurysm.
