Özet

We report a 16-year-old girl with acute rupture of the sinus of Valsalva, This case is unique in that the right coronary sinus of Valsalva ruptured into both the right and left ventricles, producing severe aortic insufficiency. The diagnosis was made with two-dimensional and color Doppler echocardiography, which showed an abnormal jet flow from the aortic root into both ventricles, The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and aortic root angiography, Early diagnosis is important so that urgent surgical treatment can be taken.
