Abstract
A 53 year-old man with rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm into the right ventricle diagnosed by two dimensional echocardiography (2DE), m agnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and catheterisation study is reported in this paper. Despite the fact that its incidence is low, early diag nosis is very important in this illness because of the possibility of complete cure with surgery. In this study it was shown that MRI as wel l as 2DE is an excellent diagnostic method for this illness. The diagn osis was also confirmed with surgery in this patient.
