“…9 Our case is also compatible with the case reported by Sari et al, who reported a case of sub aortic membrane complicated by IE and severe AR. 10 Our case confirmed that TEE is useful as an imaging modality to diagnose papillary muscle abnormalities that may be difficult to discover by TTE even by experienced cardiologists as reported by Cahill et al, and Costa et al 2,11 In the current case, antibiotics played an important role in improving IE before surgical intervention. Ultimately, we report this case to highlight the role of medical imaging modalities in diagnosing superimposed medical lesions as in the current case where multiple superimposed aortic lesions were detected.…”

Multivalvular destruction may be a clinical manifestation of infective endocarditis (IE), which is a devastating infection of the heart either alone or superimposed with congenital subaortic membrane as in this case report. Here, we report a case of multivavular destruction with severe vegetation presented as a manifestation of infective endocarditis (IE) in a neglected case of 18-year-old male with previous rheumatic heart disease. Transesophageal echocardiography is an important imaging modality for diagnosis of superimposed aortic and heart lesions. Early necessary investigation and correct diagnosis is mandatory to prevent bad complications. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.2.2798 How to cite this:Alshoabi SA, Aljaber NN, Gameraddin MB, Omer AM.
