  Abstract

We report a 20-year-old man with acute mitral prosthesis endocarditis complicated by valve desinsertion. In developing countries, the lack of surgical facilities makes management of these complications difficult.

Keywords: Endocarditis; Valvular prosthesis; Trans-thoracic echocardiography
