ABSTRACT:

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common malformation in congenital cardiac disease with the prevalence of 1-2%. In Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the aortic valve has only two cusps instead of three cusps. In this paper, we are presenting a case of BAV associated with mild to moderate aortic stenosis and regurgitation, with no valvular incompetence. A 18 years old male student presented with the chief complaints of exertional dyspnea associated with occasional chest pain. Color Doppler echocardiogram revealed congenital bicuspid aortic valve with mild to moderate aortic stenosis. It showed mild bicuspid aortic regurgitation having normal ejection fraction and without valvular incompetence (aortic root dilatation). The patients with BAV are advisable to have a regular follow up with cardiologist or cardiac surgeons. In case of severe valvular dysfunction, aortic valve replacement is a treatment of choice.

KEY WORDS: Bicuspid Aortic valve, Embryology, Aortic stenosis, Aortic Regurgitation.
