Ischemic infarction is a frequent neurological complication of IE; however, young stroke resulting from IE is rare. We herein report a case of acute mitral valve and aortic valve infective endocarditis complicated with young stroke 8 days after left foot debridement due to methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA)-related cellulitis.
