Abstract
A 17-year-old girl developed infective endarteritis, caused by Staphylococcus aureus, at the site of a previously undiagnosed aortic coarctation. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a clinically unsuspected false aneurysm. Foreknowledge of the presence of the aneurysm proved to be life saving when an acute deterioration required emergency surgery.Entities:
