Infective endocarditis on a normal triscuspid valve in children without pathology constitute a rare disease with a difficult diagnosis but with an increasing incidence in the last decades. A clinical case of an eleven year old child without predisposing factors for endocarditis, in whom the diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus infective ebdocarditis on tricuspid valve complicated with pulmonary septic emboli is presented. Conservative surgical treatment in the active phase of the disease was necessary because of the recurrent episodes of pulmonary emboli clinically evident and because of the ecocardiographic features suggesting high probability of new embolic events and failure of the antibiotic treatment
