Left Valsalva Sinus Aneurysm on Infection Tuberculous

Abstract

Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm (SVA) is a localized dilatation of the aortic wall, forming a sacral ectasia, located just above the aortic cusps between the valve and the sino-tubular junction [1-3]. It is a rare condition that is congenital or acquired and whose frequency is less than 1% according to the literature [1]. The aneurysm most often involves the right coronary sinus (65-85% of cases), more rarely the posterior sinus (10-30%) and exceptionally the left coronary sinus (<5%) [4]. we report a case of an unruptured left SVA in an 18-year-old patient in a context of disseminated tuberculosis associated with rheumatic valvulopathy.
