An unruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is usually asymptomatic, and a rare, often incidental echocardiographic diagnosis. Its presentation in the neonatal period is extremely rare. We describe this finding in a neonate with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which has not been previously reported in the literature. This constellation of findings may have important clinical implications in regards to medical management and surgical options.
未破裂的瓦氏窦瘤通常无症状，是一种罕见的、常为偶然的超声心动图诊断结果。其在新生儿期的表现极为罕见。我们描述了一名患有左心发育不全综合征的新生儿的这一发现，这在文献中此前尚未有报道。这一系列发现可能对医疗管理和手术选择具有重要的临床意义。
