Abstract
Herein, we present a case with clinical and laboratory manifestations of infectious endocarditis but in echocardiography, the ventricular septal defect and bicuspid aortic valve were detected without any vegetation. However, an aortic root pseudoaneurysm was first suspected in transesophageal echocardiography and then confirmed in computed tomography angiography of the aorta that points to importance of searching infectious endocarditis complications even in absence of vegetation.
