Infective endocarditis involving the right heart is rarely observed in the pediatric population. Echocardiography plays an important role in its diagnosis, and surgery is indicated in patients with heart failure and persistent sepsis not responding to medical treatment. Here, we report a rare case of restricted ventricular septal defect complicated by a vegetation developed in the right ventricular outflow tract and causing sub-pulmonic stenosis in a 3-year-old male child.
