Dual-Cavity Spontaneous Sinus of Valsalva Pseudoaneurysms: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Sinus of Valsalva pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular anomalies with potentially life-threatening complications, and their diagnosis is challenging.

A 75-year-old man presented with exertional dizziness and dyspnea. Imaging revealed a rare dual-cavity pseudoaneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva, causing right ventricular outflow tract obstruction and moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation. Multidetector computed tomography was pivotal for diagnosis and surgical planning. The patient underwent successful repair using the Bentall-de Bono technique, followed by pacemaker implantation owing to complete heart block.

This case underscores the diagnostic complexity and clinical impact of spontaneous sinus of Valsalva pseudoaneurysms. The dual-cavity presentation is exceptionally rare. This case highlights the essential role of noninvasive imaging and timely surgical intervention in preventing fatal outcomes.

Dual-cavity sinus of Valsalva pseudoaneurysms are exceptionally rare and demand high clinical suspicion. Multidetector computed tomography is essential for diagnosis and guiding optimal surgical treatment.
