Key result
Transthoracic echocardiography incidentally detected a rare unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve with moderate aortic stenosis (peak pressure gradient of 50 mmHg) in an asymptomatic 8-month-old infant.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case report highlights the incidental diagnosis of a rare unicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic stenosis in an asymptomatic infant using transthoracic echocardiography.
Prompts consideration of UAV in infants with aortic stenosis; extends sparse case reports but leaves open prospective outcome data.
The unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a very rare congenital anomaly, which usually presents as aortic stenosis, incompetence, or a combination of both. Here, we present a case of UAV with moderate aortic stenosis detected by transthoracic echocardiography in the infant.

Amar Taksande (2015) conducted a case report in Unicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic stenosis (n=1). Echocardiography was evaluated on Echocardiographic findings. Transthoracic echocardiography incidentally detected a rare unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve with moderate aortic stenosis (peak pressure gradient of 50 mmHg) in an asymptomatic 8-month-old infant.
