Rapid enlargement of a pre-existing intracranial aneurysm during infective endocarditis: a case report
This case demonstrates infection-related enlargement of a pre-existing intracranial aneurysm during IE, documented chronologically with serial MRA. These findings highlight the need for careful interval imaging in patients with IE and known aneurysms, and rapid morphological change should prompt urgent aneurysm treatment.
