Abstract
In this case report, we describe the diagnostic modality of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SOVA) in combination with congenital cardiac defect, aortic valve involvement, and conduction abnormality in a 19-year-old patient. Aim of article was to understand the importance of clinicians being cautious about SOVA presenting in young patients, despite cases being rare, and that SOVA requires a thorough SOVA diagnostic approach. We further provide a review of literature highlighting and comparing the treatment options for both unruptured and ruptured SOVAs. The patient presented for examination due to tachycardia and palpitations. A murmur was heard, and the patient was found to have an atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia. Echocardiographic evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography angiography confirmed an aneurysmally dilated aortic root, aortic regurgitation, and ventricular septal defect. Surgical intervention was indicated; however, the patient refused to undergo surgery.
