Abstract
Aortic valve regurgitation and saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta developed in a 5-year-old boy following severe compressive injury to the chest. While rare, traumatic aortic valve disruption may lead to serious cardiac dysfunction. Recognition of acute arotic insufficiency and other forms of cardiac damage requires special attention in patients with nonpenetrating chest injury.
