Fungal endocarditis complicated by mycotic aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva, interventricular septal abscess, and infectious pericarditis: unique M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic findings.
A 26-year-old male with fungal aortic endocarditis is presented in whom unique M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic findings permitted a diagnosis of mycotic aneurysm of right sinus of Valsalva and ventricular septal abscess preoperatively. The aneurysm was excised, and the affected aortic and tricuspid valves were replaced with valve prostheses.
