A Case of Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Due toThrombus with Bacterial Colony
2020
Diagnosis and treatment for embolic stroke due to Infective Endocarditis (IE) is
the challenging. We describe the case of acute middle cerebral artery occlusion with
fever and inflammation underwent Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT) and retrieved
atypical thrombus. That pathological finding, thrombus with bacterial colony, proved
the diagnosis of IE. Following appropriate antibiotic therapy and replacement of the
cardiac valve, the clinical outcome was favorable. Given this case experience and other
reported cases, MT may be considered as a prime option for acute ischemic large-vessel
occlusion due to IE.
