Abstract :
Congenital aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare lesions. Because the aortic root is central, the aneurysm can rupture into any cardiac chamber, and virtually all combinations of sinus and chamber fistulas have been described. Rupture into the pulmonary artery, however, is very rare. We encountered a 14-year-old boy with conal ventricular septal defect and right coronary cusp prolapse with an unruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva into the pulmonary artery.
