Abstract

In this case report, we present an extremely rare case of isolated aortic valve prolapse causing aortic regurgitation having no association with any comorbid conditions that are commonly seen with aortic valve prolapse. A 27-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of dyspnea on exertion (New York Heart Association grade III) for 20 days, decreased appetite for 15 days, and a history of significant weight loss for one and a half years. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography revealed a trileaflet floppy aortic valve with prolapsing non-coronary and right coronary cusps, associated with moderate aortic regurgitation. The incidence of aortic valve prolapse is roughly around 1%. Exceptionally, very few cases of isolated aortic valve prolapse with moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation without any associated pathology have been reported to date.
