Introduction
Infective endocarditis (IE) is not a rare disease (1). It is more
frequent in the presence of valvular disease (1). The IE lesions consist
on vegetations and valvular destruction that are located essentially on
the valves. The rupture of the mitral papillary muscle due to IE is a
very rare complication (2, 3). We report here the case of severe mitral
regurgitation occurring on normal mitral valve with anterolateral
papillary muscle rupture due to IE.
