A rare case of a quadricuspid aortic valve discovered incidentally at autopsy is described. A shallow raphe joined the supernumerary and adjacent cusp, possibly representing early fusion of the commissures. There was no symptomatic hemodynamic abnormality. Other than a probe-patent foramen ovale, no congenital anomalies were present. This is only the sixth example of a quadricuspid aortic valve with a raphe reported in the English language literature.
本文描述了一例在尸检时偶然发现的四叶式主动脉瓣罕见病例。一条浅沟连接多余的叶瓣和相邻叶瓣，可能代表瓣叶融合的早期阶段。未出现有症状的血流动力学异常。除卵圆孔未闭外，未发现其他先天性异常。这是英文文献中报道的第六例伴有浅沟的四叶式主动脉瓣病例。
