ABSTRACT

Valsalva sinus aneurysm is un uncommon cardiac anomaly. We present the case of a 29-year-old patient hospitalized for an infectious endocarditis on aortic and mitral plovalvulopathy complicated by an abscess of the aortic ring. He received antibiotics for six weeks with apyrexia. The biological inflammatory control balance was normal. Cardiac echocardiography revealed an aneurysm of the right anterior valsalva sinus with a collar at 15 mm and a maximum diameter at 39 mm. Chest CT showed aneurysmal and saccular dilation of aortic sinus with a 3 cm collar. Waiting for surgery, the evolution was marked by death by cardiogenic shock.
