Tricuspid Valve Aneursym Formation in a Child with Suspected Endocarditis

Aneurysms of the aortic and mitral valve are a known complication of infective endocarditis in adults. We report an unusual case of tricuspid valve endocarditis in a child with resultant aneurysm formation as its presenting finding after a brief clinical course.
