A girl, aged 13 8/12 years, in whom has been known a syndrome of the mitral valve prolapse since the 10th year of age, fell ill with an acute endocarditis by staphylococcus aureus. As the therapy with antibiotics remained without any effects and due to an early embolic dispersion including the brain an operative approach was no more possible death occurred. The pathologic-anatomical investigations resulted in a distinct ulceropolypous endocarditis of the mitral valve. At the instance of this case report the most important facts nowadays known about the relation between the syndrome of mitral valve prolapse and endocarditis are summed up.
