Quadricuspid aortic valve: a case report and review of literature.

Quadricuspid aortic valve, a rare congenital cardiac defect, manifests most commonly as aortic regurgitation. Clinical presentation mainly depends on the functional status of the aortic valve, myocardium and associated cardiovascular abnormalities. Aortic valve replacement or repair is usually warranted in the 5th or 6th decade.
