What is the most likely cause of a mobile aortic root structure in a young patient with severe aortic regurgitation?
Ascending aortic dissection involving the aortic root
Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm
Infective endocarditis with flail or perforated aortic cusp
Correct! The correct answer is "Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm".
 
Imaging shows a ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (Left sinus of Valsalva) with a mobile sac and continuous turbulent jet from the aortic sinus, mimicking but not representing an aortic dissection flap. Diagnosis further confirmed by CT aortogram.

 
Good try! The correct answer is "Ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm".
