Zusammenfassung:	Rupture of the mitral papillary muscle due to infective endocarditis is a very rare complication. There is no report regarding anterolateral papillary muscle rupture as a complication of infective endocarditis in the literature. We decided to report a case of anterolateral papillary muscle rupture due to infective endocarditis. Our case, which will be discussed later on, differs also in many ways from that in the literature.
