Calcified Unruptured Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm in a Child

Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SOVAs) might be congenital or acquired in origin. They might present as a rupture or as a consequence of compression on adjacent structures.

Summary:Sinus of Valsalva aneurysms (SOVAs) might be congenital or acquired in origin. They might present as a rupture or as a consequence of compression on adjacent structures. The treatment of such aneurysms in adults is well documented. Calcified unruptured SOVAs are rarer and their management is not well elucidated, more so in the pediatric population. We present the management and outcome of such a case.
