Ruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva discovered 41 years after a decelerational injury

Abstract
We present an unusual case of ruptured aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva discovered 41 years after a car accident. Echocardiography was a key element in establishing the diagnosis of this rare anomaly, which is often congenital but has also been reported as acquired or traumatic in origin.
