Fixed subaortic stenosis with congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva--cross-sectional and Doppler echocardiographic diagnosis of a rare association.
A 13-year-old girl was diagnosed by cross-sectional and Doppler echocardiography to have the rare combination of congenital aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva rupturing into the right ventricular outflow tract and a discrete subaortic fibrous shelf with severe subvalvar stenosis, moderate aortic regurgitation and left ventricular dysfunction. The findings were confirmed at cardiac catheterisation and surgery.
