A rare quadricuspid aortic valve malformation was found in a 17-year-old male. This asymptomatic patient had no other congenital heart defects, and no aortic regurgitation was observed.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Congenital Heart Disease
Echocardiography

Background:

Congenital heart abnormalities can present with varied morphology.
Aortic valve malformations are uncommon cardiac congenital anomalies.

Observation:

A 17-year-old male presented with no symptoms.
Transthoracic echocardiography was performed for cardiac evaluation.

Findings:

A rare quadricuspid aortic valve malformation was identified.
The patient had no other coexisting cardiac congenital abnormalities.
No significant aortic regurgitation was detected on echocardiography.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of detailed echocardiographic assessment for diagnosing rare cardiac malformations.
