Echocardiography revealed a rare quadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation in an asymptomatic female adolescent evaluated for a cardiac murmur.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the importance of auscultation in detecting rare cardiac abnormalities such as a quadricuspid aortic valve.
Supports thorough auscultation in asymptomatic adolescents; leaves open prevalence, progression, and management of quadricuspid aortic valve.
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.
