Abstract

Elli yaşında kadın ateş ve halsizlik
şikayetiyle başvurdu. Transtorasik ve transözefageal ekokardiyografi (TTE,
TEE)’de sol ventrikül lateral duvarında hareketli, mural bir kitle izlendi. Biz
burada sol ventriküler mural vejetasyonla birlikte kültür negatif infektif
endokardit olgusu sunduk. Bu literatürde ilk olgudur.

Keywords

Nonvalvular Vegetation: A Case Report

Abstract

A 50-year-old woman presented with
fever and weakness. A large mobile mural mass was observed in the lateral side
of the left ventricle using transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
We speculated this to be a case of culture negative infective endocarditis with
left ventricular mural vegetation; to the best of our knowledge, this is the
first reported case in the literature.

Keywords

Mural vegetation, culture-negative infective endocarditis, mural endocarditis
