Abstract

A 42-year-old man was admitted with acute severe aortic regurgitation. There were no signs of a systemic infection. M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography revealed bicuspid aortic valve and echocardiographic features consistent with aortic leaflet rupture. The diagnosis was confirmed at surgery. This report illustrates that spontaneous rupture of a bicuspid aortic valve should be considered in acute aortic regurgitation without infective endocarditis.
