Inguinal surgeries, such as vasectomy, place carriers of this aggressive pathogen at risk for contamination. Native-valve endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative <jats:italic>S. lugdunensis<\/jats:italic> has a rapid and complicated clinical course. The pathogenicity of this organism is not limited to cardiac valvular destruction. We report the case of a 36-year-old man who presented with <jats:italic>S. lugdunensis<\/jats:italic> endocarditis, dysarthria, and hemiparesis 5 weeks after a vasectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of embolic stroke caused by <jats:italic>S. lugdunensis<\/jats:italic> endocarditis.
