Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the context of infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon and complex phenomenon involving diverse underlying mechanisms. We present a compelling case of a 48-year-old patient with recurrent ICH, ultimately leading to the diagnosis of IE with vegetation on the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. The patient underwent a successful mitral valve replacement followed by a gradual improvement in neurological symptoms. This case report delves into the intricate diagnostic journey, highlighting the significance of suspecting IE in patients presenting with ICH. A multidisciplinary and comprehensive management approach played a pivotal role in achieving positive outcomes.
