A combination of a ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) with Ebstein anomaly is a rare and clinically challenging entity. We describe a case of a 29-year-old female who presented with progressive dyspnoea and epigastric discomfort with symptoms and clinical findings not consistent with any single definitive diagnosis. In the primary echocardiography assessment, she was diagnosed with Ebstein anomaly. On the grounds of several unexplained clinical features and routine review echocardiography by the cardiology team, she was found to have a rare combination of Ebstein anomaly associated with RSOV. A cath study was performed to study the interplay of the hemodynamics of the two lesions, not described before in the literature, and also explain the clinical features not consistent with any one entity. We emphasize the significance of meticulous history-taking and sound clinical evaluation followed by corroboration with the diagnostic modalities for precise diagnosis and timely planned intervention in such rare associations.
