Abstract

Quadricuspid pulmonary valve is a rare congenital cardiac entity. Because of its usual asymptomatic course, it has been almost exclusively diagnosed after death or at cardiac surgery, and few cases have been documented in living patients by trans thoracic echocardiography or computed tomography, let alone by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We report the case of a young European male diagnosed with quadricuspid pulmonary valve detected on cardiac MRI.
