| Popis: | Background The rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (RSoVA) is a rare disorder that affects the integrity of the cardiovascular system, disrupting its dynamics and resulting in a variety of manifestations. In this report, we discuss two cases of RSoVA that we encountered and review similar cases reported in the literature. Methods literature review of reported cases of RSoVA in PubMed and Google Scholar. Results A total of 223 cases were found and the final analysis included 225 cases, of which 69% occurred in males and the mean age was 38.9 years. Dyspnea was the most common presenting symptom and 76% of the cases described continuous murmur on examination. The right sinus was affected in 61% of the cases and the fistula connected to the right chambers of the heart 73% of the time. Conclusion RSoVA is a rare condition that is difficult to diagnose, it should be considered in the right context, particularly in young patients with symptoms of heart failure and the presence of continuous murmur on cardiac examination. |
