Unicuspid unicommissural aortic valve

Abstract

We describe a case of a 30-year-old woman with gradually increasing dyspnoea on exertion where CT angiography revealed a unicuspid unicommissural morphology of the aortic valve. The present report highlights the anatomical and embryological aspects of this rare anatomical variant as well as the associated cardiovascular abnormalities.
