Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm: A Rare Cause of Dyspnea

Figure 1

Parasternal short axis view of the aortic valve shows dilated left sinus of Valsalva. Note that the left coronary cusp (LCC) is markedly enlarged compared to the other two cusps. Normally, all three cusps are equal in size. RV: right ventricle, RA: right atrium, and LA: left atrium. RCC: right coronary cusp; NCC: noncoronary cusp.
