Abstract

Paciente de 35 anos de idade foi atendido em Serviço de Emergência com seis horas de dor em fossa ilíaca direita e febre. Feita hipótese diagnóstica de apendicite aguda e realizada laparotomia exploradora. com apendicectomia. O paciente retornou ao hospital três dias após alta hospitalar. prostrado. febril. com alteração de fala. diminuição de nível de consciência e com hemiparesia completa à esquerda. CT scan de crânio e punção de líquor normal. RMN de encéfalo revelou aspectos compatíveis com AVC isquêmico vertebro-basilar. Ecocardiograma transesofágico demonstrou vegetação em valva aórtica e insuficiência aórtica moderada e hemoculturas foram positivas para Enterococcus bovis.Paciente de 35 años de edad ingresó en el servicio de emergencia con seis horas de dolor en fosa ilíaca derecha y fiebre. Se llevó a cabo la hipótesis diagnóstica de apendicitis aguda y realizada laparotomía exploradora, con apendicectomía. El paciente regresó al hospital tres días tras alta hospitalaria, prostrado, febril, con alteración de habla, disminución de nivel de conciencia y con hemiparesia izquierda completa. Scanner de cráneo y punción de líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) normal. RMN de encéfalo reveló aspectos compatibles con ACV isquémico vertebrobasilar. El ecocardiograma transesofágico demostró vegetación en válvula aórtica y insuficiencia aórtica moderada y hemocultivos fueron positivas para Enterococcus bovis.A 35-year-old patient was seen in an Emergency Department. with six hours of pain in the right iliac fossa and fever.
