We present a case of a 24-year-old woman who was diagnosed with quadricuspid aortic valve with ruptured sinus of Valsalva. Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. The recognition of quadricuspid aortic valve has clinical significance as it causes aortic valve dysfunction, and is often associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. We showed the important role of multimodality imaging in diagnosing a quadricuspid aortic valve associated with ruptured sinus of Valsalva.
我们报告一例24岁女性，被诊断为四叶式主动脉瓣伴瓦氏窦破裂。四叶式主动脉瓣是一种罕见的先天性心脏异常。认识四叶式主动脉瓣具有临床意义，因为它会导致主动脉瓣功能障碍，且常与其他先天性心脏异常相关。我们展示了多模态成像在诊断与瓦氏窦破裂相关的四叶式主动脉瓣中的重要作用。
