Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare congenital heart defect. The authors present a case of this anomaly in a young, asymptomatic adolescent who presented to the echocardiography laboratory for further evaluation of a cardiac murmur detected on routine physical examination. Imaging revealed a quadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation. This case highlights the importance of auscultation in detecting cardiac abnormalities.
四叶式主动脉瓣是一种罕见的先天性心脏缺陷。作者报告了一例发生在一名年轻无症状青少年身上的这种异常情况，该青少年因在常规体格检查中发现心脏杂音而前往超声心动图实验室进行进一步评估。影像学检查显示为伴有主动脉反流的四叶式主动脉瓣。该病例凸显了听诊在检测心脏异常方面的重要性。
