Echo and CT reveal a rare unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve with severe AS in a 30-year-old.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report highlights the anatomical and embryological aspects of a rare unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve variant.
Prompts consideration of rare unicuspid variants in young adults with severe AS; leaves open questions on management and outcomes.
We describe a case of a 30-year-old woman with gradually increasing dyspnoea on exertion where CT angiography revealed a unicuspid unicommissural morphology of the aortic valve. The present report highlights the anatomical and embryological aspects of this rare anatomical variant as well as the associated cardiovascular abnormalities.

Girish et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve (n=1). Diagnostic imaging (Echocardiography and CT angiography) was evaluated. A 30-year-old female presenting with dyspnoea on exertion was diagnosed with a rare unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve and severe aortic stenosis using echocardiography and CT angiography.
