Abstract


Aorto-right ventricular fistulas are defects of the aortic wall in the area above the right coronary cusp, where it separates aorta and right ventricular outflow tract. This entity is rare and exceptional. Often, these defects are due to trauma or infective endocarditis.

We report an occasional finding of such a fistula with dramatic issue, in young patient without past medical history which admitted for rupture of cerebral mycotic aneurysm secondary to infective endocarditis with double localization (aortic and pulmonary valve).

Keywords:
  • Infective endocarditis
