A rare pediatric cardiac anomaly: Quadricuspid aortic valve with aortic regurgitation

Abstract

A quadricuspid aortic valve is rarely diagnosed in children, but it can be associated with significant aortic regurgitation. It is important for pediatric cardiologists to be aware of this pathologic entity. We present a nine-year-old male, diagnosed with a quadricuspid aortic valve and mild aortic regurgitation.
