Abstract
Right-sided valve endocarditis is usually uncommon. Pulmonary valve endocarditis with septic emboli as the complication of a rare congenital heart disease is even unusual. Herein, we report a case of a 27-year-old male congenital cyanotic heart disease with pulmonary valve endocarditis presenting with 5 days history of fever and headache. Echocardiography demonstrated double-inlet left ventricle with hypoplastic right ventricle with discordant origin of great arteries. In addition, multiple mobile vegetations in the pulmonary valve are also seen. Brain imaging revealed cerebral abscess. The occurrence of pulmonary valve endocarditis and cerebral abscess in a case of single ventricle is very rarely reported.
