Abstract |
Fungal endocarditis is a rare clinical form of infective endocarditis. The main etiology of FE is Candida albicans but also Candida parapsilosis and the overall mortality is high. We report a case of an acute ischemic stroke treated by mechanical thrombectomy, with the histopathological analysis of the retrieved clot followed by the confirmation of fungal endocarditis. An extensive review of the literature has been proposed and three key points concerning the fungal endocarditis predisposing factors, the relation between thrombolysis and hemorrhagic risk and, finally, the importance of clot analysis have been discussed.
