Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital anomaly. It may present as an isolated anomaly but is occasionally associated with aortic regurgitation. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is also an infrequent congenital anomaly, typically associated with tricuspid aortic valves. There are only a few reported cases of SVA (ruptured) associated with quadricuspid aortic valves in the literature. We report the first case of the association of quadricuspid aortic valve with an unruptured SVA in an adult patient.
四叶式主动脉瓣是一种罕见的先天性异常。它可能表现为孤立性异常，但偶尔与主动脉反流相关。瓦氏窦瘤（SVA）也是一种罕见的先天性异常，通常与三叶式主动脉瓣相关。文献中仅有少数几例报道的SVA（破裂）与四叶式主动脉瓣相关。我们报告了首例成年患者中四叶式主动脉瓣与未破裂SVA相关的病例。
