A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare cardiac anomaly, and it is usually clinically silent. However, it may lead to symptoms when it compresses adjacent cardiac structures. Herein, we would like to report a 45-year-old lady with exertional dyspnea who was first diagnosed with having a cystic cardiac mass on transthoracic echocardiogram. Then, transesophageal echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography revealed an unruptured aneurysm of noncoronary sinus of Valsalva.
瓦氏窦动脉瘤是一种罕见的心脏畸形，通常无临床症状。然而，当它压迫邻近的心脏结构时，可能会导致症状。在此，我们报告一例 45 岁女性，劳力性呼吸困难，首先在经胸超声心动图上诊断为囊性心脏肿块。然后，经食管超声心动图和心脏计算机断层扫描显示非冠状动脉瓦氏窦未破裂的动脉瘤。
