title: [Bacteria endocarditis of dental origin with neurological complications].
abstract: A 49 years old man suffered from transient hemiplegic episodes following bacterial endocarditis, cultures being negative and with a fever resistant to antibiotics. Complete stomatological evaluation revealed multiple dental infective sites constituting "portals of entry". Radical treatment of these sites contributed to the complete cure of the infective syndrome.
