Quadricuspid Aortic Valve (QAV) is a rare, but well-recognised congenital anomaly, which may result in significant aortic regurgitation. We report a case of asymptomatic young male who was inadvertently diagnosed with QAV with moderately severe aortic regurgitation, through Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE).
