Hepatic artery branch mycotic aneurysm causing intrahepatic biliary dilatation and associated with hepatic micro abscesses is a rare complication of infective endocarditis and patient presenting with classical Quincke’s symptoms has not been reported in literature so far. We report a case of 38 years old woman who presented with epigastric pain and obstructive jaundice. She has recently been diagnosed to have infective endocarditis. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm causing moderate intrahepatic biliary dilatation and micro abscesses was reported on contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and immediately conveyed to primary physician which led to successful selective transcatheter arterial embolization of the aneurysm, leading to early stabilization and recovery of the patient.
