A dissecting aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva involving the inter-ventricsular septum in a patient with syphilis and a quadricuspid aortic valve.

Aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva are rare, with dissecting aneurysms of the sinus of Valsalva that extend into the inter-ventricular septum being even more rare. This report describes a young patient with syphilis and a quadricuspid aortic valve who experienced a spontaneously dissecting aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva and the basal inter-ventricular septum.
