title: Staphylococcal native valve endocarditis with iris abscess and intracranial hemorrhage in an adolescent girl.
abstract: Native valve infective endocarditis by Staphylococcus aureus is a well-known entity. Metastatic eye abscess and intracranial hemorrhage are rare manifestations of infective endocarditis. We describe an adolescent girl who presented with staphylococcal native valve endocarditis with metastatic iris abscesses and after valve replacement surgery, succumbed to her illness as a result of an intracranial hemorrhage.
