In this case report, we present an extremely rare case of isolated aortic valve prolapse causing aortic regurgitation having no association with any comorbid conditions that are commonly seen with aortic valve prolapse. A 27-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of dyspnea on exertion (New York Heart Association grade III) for 20 days, decreased appetite for 15 days, and a history of significant weight loss for one and a half years. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a trileaflet floppy aortic valve with prolapsing non-coronary and right coronary cusps, associated with moderate aortic regurgitation. The incidence of aortic valve prolapse is roughly around 1%. Exceptionally, very few cases of isolated aortic valve prolapse with moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation without any associated pathology have been reported to date.
在本病例报告中,我们呈现了一例极为罕见的孤立性主动脉瓣脱垂导致主动脉瓣反流的病例,该病例与主动脉瓣脱垂常见的任何合并症均无关联。一名27岁女性患者的主要诉求为劳力性呼吸困难(纽约心脏协会III级)20天、食欲减退15天以及有一年半显著体重减轻的病史。经胸和经食管超声心动图显示三叶瓣松弛的主动脉瓣,非冠状动脉瓣叶和右冠状动脉瓣叶脱垂,伴有中度主动脉瓣反流。主动脉瓣脱垂的发生率约为1%。迄今为止,仅有极少数孤立性主动脉瓣脱垂伴中度至重度主动脉瓣反流且无任何相关病理情况的病例被报道。
