A Rare Cause of Dyspnea : Sudden Rupture of Aortic Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm

الملخص EN

Aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva is an uncommon cardiac abnormality; however, the most common complication is rupture into the right heart chambers or rarely towards the left chambers.

A ruptured aneurysm typically leads to an aortocardiac shunt and progressively worsening heart failure.

We report a case of a 21-year-old male who suffered an aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva rupture into the right atrium who underwent successful surgical repair.
