Abstract

A 17-year-old male patient was referred with symptoms of dyspnea. Multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) and echocardiography evaluation revealed quadricuspid aortic and pulmonary valves, an atrial septal defect (ASD), and pulmonary stenosis. We closed the ASD using a bovine patch and performed a commissurotomy of the pulmonary valve. Quadricuspid semilunar valves are very rare congenital abnormalities that are reported to occur nine times more frequently in the pulmonic valve than in the aortic valve. According to the Hurwitz Roberts classification, the aortic valve was type A, and the pulmonic valve was type B. The aortic valve normal function, but the pulmonic valve was stenotic and had abnormal function.

호흡곤란을 주소로 내원한 17세 환자가 대동맥 및 폐동맥 사엽성 판막을 보이며 심방중격결손과 폐동맥 판막 협착증이 발전되어 소심막을 이용한 심방중격결손 봉합 및 폐동맥 판막 교련절개술을 시행하였다. 대동맥 판막과 폐동맥 판막이 모두 사엽성 판막을 보이는 경우는 매우 드문 선천성 기형으로 폐동맥 사엽성 판막이 대동맥 사업성 판막보다 9배정도 많다. 본 증례는 Hurwitz and Roberts 분류법상 대동맥판막은 A형, 폐동맥판막은 B형이었으며 대동맥 판막기능은 정상적이었고 폐동맥 판막 협착증을 보였다.
