Abstract

Quadricuspid pulmonary valve (QPV) with pulmonary artery aneurysm is an uncommon condition. QPV is typically clinically silent, so it is often diagnosed after death. However, recent advancements in imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), have allowed more frequent incidental diagnosis of QPV in living adults. We report a case of QPV with pulmonary artery aneurysm in an asymptomatic adult; the condition was detected by CT aortography but was not discernible in echocardiography. Following the case presentation, we review the prior related literature.
