Quadricuspid pulmonic valve (QPV) is almost always a benign anomaly and is therefore usually discovered incidentally on radiographic studies or post-mortem at autopsy. Because of its rarity, the true extent of the physiology of QPV is not fully understood, and the few reported cases of it may underestimate its physiological consequences. In this case, we report on a young active-duty solider who presented for a well check-up and was discovered on imaging to have a QPV. We also review the most recent literature and provide recommendations regarding the most effective diagnostic modalities.
三尖瓣共有瓣叶（QPV）几乎总是良性的异常，因此通常在放射学研究或尸检时偶然发现。由于其罕见性，QPV 的生理功能的真实程度尚不完全清楚，并且少数报道的病例可能低估了其生理后果。在这种情况下，我们报告了一名年轻现役士兵的病例，他因健康检查而就诊，并在影像学检查中发现了 QPV。我们还回顾了最新的文献，并就最有效的诊断方式提供了建议。
