A 47-year-old man presented with symptoms typical of infective endocarditis and history of streptococcal meningitis 8 months previously. Echocardiography showed a large aortic valve vegetation that was interpreted as disruption of the noncoronary cusp. This was ruled out by 64-slice cardiac computed tomography. Valve replacement was performed successfully.
