Ruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm Presenting as Complete Heart Block - A Rare Presentation

ABSTRACT

The dissection of the sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the interventricular septum leading to complete heart block is a rare complication with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of young farm laborer, who presented with multiple episodes of syncope. Upon clinical evaluation, we found third-degree atrioventricular block due the rupture of right sinus of Valsalva into the interventricular septum.
