Abstract

We describe a patient who had fever and bilateral cortical blindness and was later found to have leaking intracerebral mycotic aneurysm secondary to Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis. He had a vegetation at the .tricuspid valve with evidence of systemic embolisation, however, chest radiograph did not reveal any evidence of pulmonary emboli.
