Infarctus splénique révélant une endocardite infectieuse chez une femme enceinte: à propos d’un cas et brève revue de littérature

Abstract: Le diagnostic d’infarctus splénique est rarement évoqué chez la femme enceinte. L’incidence actuelle de ces atteintes notamment au cours des endocardites infectieuses ainsi que les moyens diagnostiques utilisés sont mal précisés dans la littérature. Une femme de 26 ans, sans antécédent particulier ni facteur de risque cardio-vasculaire, au terme de 14 semaines d’aménorrhée, consulte en urgence, pour un syndrome fébrile évoluant depuis 10 jours et l’apparition récente de douleur abdominale au niveau de l’hypoch… Show more

“…Whether pulmonary, digestive or neurological, the circumstances of the discoveries aroused by infective endocarditis had in common to evolve in a frank febrile context. In our case the fever was 39.8˚C, it was 38.9˚C in the case of acute pulmonary oedema [4], 39˚C in the case of intracranial haemorrhage [5] and 39.5˚C in the case of splenic infarction [6]. This reminds us that a tempera-ture ≥ 38˚C is one of the diagnostic criteria for infective endocarditis [7] [8].…”

“…In our present observation, it was a digestive and neurological context. Other circumstances of discovery have been reported such as acute pulmonary oedema [4], intracranial haemorrhage [5] and even splenic infarction [6]. Whether pulmonary, digestive or neurological, the circumstances of the discoveries aroused by infective endocarditis had in common to evolve in a frank febrile context.…”

“…Mycotic aneurysms are another common complication in patients with IE, most commonly affecting the cerebral arteries in the intracranial segments [ 131 , 132 ]. Other complications rarely seen in pregnant patients with IE are splenic infarction and pulmonary embolism, the latter secondary to right heart IE [ 133 , 134 ]. Coronary embolization is a rare complication in pregnant women with IE and may be the etiological cause of silent myocardial infarction [ 55 ].…”
