ABSTRACT
Endocarditis is an uncommon infectious complication of congenital heart disease (CHD), typically presenting with fever as its primary symptom; however, its occurrence may not always be accompanied by fever. This paper elaborates on a case involving a patient with surgically corrected Berry syndrome and residual aortic coarctation. The clinical presentation of aortic endarteritis in this case manifested as seizures attributed to a hemorrhagic stroke. In this paper, we aim to raise awareness of this infrequent complication of aortic coarctation, as it may present itself with cerebral hemorrhage due to septic microemboli, even in the absence of fever at its initial presentation.
