ABSTRACT Infective endocarditis (IE) is a rare but serious condition. We present a case of endocarditis in a healthy 40-year-old male with no predisposing conditions. His physical examination was suggestive of peripheral microembolization and prompted us to consider the diagnosis of IE and order the appropriate investigations. After treatment, he later presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain, and a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm was discovered. We discuss recent advances in the changing epidemiology and microbiology of IE, review the presentation and diagnosis of IE, and highlight the potential complications of this disease.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) aneurysm is the third most common splanchnic artery aneurysm. A 73-year-old woman presented with a minimally symptomatic SMA aneurysm, which was resected by laparoscopic surgical technique. The patient recovered quickly and remained well after 8 months of follow-up. This case report and literature review presents a rare mycotic aneurysm that developed in the SMA. Laparoscopic surgery can be a useful technique for the treatment of mycotic SMA aneurysms.
