Abstract
Blunt trauma due to motor vehicle accident may result in severe cardiac valve injury. The most part of lesions are about aortic and mitral valves. Acute on-set cardiac valve insufficiency may cause severe dyspnea or cardiac failure. Tricuspid valve injury due to blunt trauma is extremely rare and clinical manifestation is silent in majority of all cases. In case of echocardiographic evaluation, patient can be diagnosed easily with cardiac valve injury. Here we introduce a 46 year-old male patient suffering tricupid papillary muscle rupture and its successful surgical repair. Fever and a mass on the valve caused by multitrauma may mimic infective endocarditis.
