We describe a 30-year-old Caribbean-Black woman with a clinical presentation suggestive of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with no conventional cerebrovascular risk factors, albeit with a newly diagnosed quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) with moderate aortic regurgitation (AR). Although QAV is a recognized congenital cardiac defect, its association with TIA remains elusive. This case highlights the importance of considering potential atypical etiologies, such as QAV, in the evaluation and management of young patients presenting with cerebrovascular events.
我们描述了一名30岁的加勒比黑人女性，其临床表现提示为短暂性脑缺血发作（TIA），但无传统的脑血管危险因素，尽管新诊断出四叶式主动脉瓣（QAV）伴中度主动脉瓣反流（AR）。虽然QAV是一种公认的先天性心脏缺陷，但其与TIA的关联仍不明确。该病例强调了在评估和管理出现脑血管事件的年轻患者时，考虑潜在非典型病因（如QAV）的重要性。
