“…2 The diagnosis is commonly made between the 5th and the 6th decade and is more frequent in male patients. 3 The anatomy of the quadricuspid aortic valve is variable, according to the size of each individual aortic valve cusp: 4 equal cusps, 3 equal cusps with one minor and 2 large cusps with 2 small cusps represent the more frequent anatomic variations. 4 Different embryologic mechanisms have been suggested including excavation of one of the valve cushions and septation of a normal valve cushion as a result of inflammatory episode.…”

“…Up to 18% of patients will have other cardiac malformations, the most common being a coronary artery anomaly (2). Atrial septal defect, pulmonary valve stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, ventricular septal defect, and subaortic stenosis have also been described (3,4). The median age at diagnosis is 49 years and the diagnosis is more frequent in male patients (5).…”

Abs tractQuadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare cause of aortic regurgitation. Most cases are detected incidentally during echocardiography, angiography, autopsy or surgery. It may also be associated with other congenital anomalies of the heart. A 27-year-old male was admitted to our department to evaluate the etiology of amaurosis fugax. On physical examination, his blood pressure was 125/85 mmHg, and an evident diastolic murmur of grade 2/6 was heard at the third left intercostal space. Results of electrocardiography and chest radiography were normal. Transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a quadricuspid aortic valve, a mild aortic regurgitation. The importance of recognizing this condition lies in the fact that more than 50% of people with QAV require valve replacement in the fifth or sixth decade of life, because of worsening aortic regurgitation.
