Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital heart defect. It may be isolated or associated to other cardiac anomalies. It may cause aortic valve dysfunction, commonly aortic regurgitation. Management of patients with quadricuspid aortic valve is represented by strict follow-up, because they may require aortic valve replacement in later life. We report the case of a 37-year old male patient, occasionally diagnosed to have quadricuspid aortic valve. Diagnosis and management are discussed.
四叶式主动脉瓣是一种罕见的先天性心脏缺陷。它可能是孤立存在的，也可能与其他心脏异常相关。它可能导致主动脉瓣功能障碍，常见的是主动脉瓣反流。四叶式主动脉瓣患者的治疗以严格随访为代表，因为他们在晚年可能需要进行主动脉瓣置换。我们报告一例37岁男性患者，偶然被诊断为四叶式主动脉瓣。本文对其诊断和治疗进行了讨论。
