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.

사첨폐동맥판과 폐동맥동맥류가 함께 있는 것은 매우 드문 경우이다. 사첨폐동맥판막은 임상적으로 보통 큰 증상이 없어 대부분의 경우 사망 이후 발견된다. 그렇지만 최근 영상기술의 발달에 힘입어 우연히 사첨폐동맥판이 건강한 성인에서 발견되는 경우가 많아졌다. 이 증례보고에서는 임상적으로 무증상 성인에서 초음파에서 발견하지 못하고, 컴퓨터 단층촬영에서 발견된 사첨폐동맥판막과 폐동맥동맥류 증례를 보고하고 이전 선행연구들을 분석하고자 한다.
