Brief Summary
Infectious endocarditis (IE) is a serious condition with an annual incidence of 3 to 10 per 100,000 people. Brain infarctions complicate approximately 20-40% of endocarditis. Brain MRI can detect the presence of recent ischemic lesions and asymptomatic microbleeds. Preoperative brain imaging is part of the recommended assessment in the management of IEs, but the type of imaging and sequences are not codified and the impact of cerebral and vascular imaging findings on the therapeutic decision remains uncertain. The level of evidence of the recommendations remains low, especially for complicated IEs of stroke. There is very little neurological clinical data on patients with IEs. Similarly, neurologists do not systematically participate in multidisciplinary meetings during the management of an IE. It therefore seems interesting to carry out a neurological cohort of this population and to evaluate what would be the contribution of vascular neurologists in the management of infectious endocarditis.
