The echocardiographic features of an aneurysm of the left sinus of Valsalva are described and correlated with angiographic findings. The echocardiogram showed the presence of a thin line of echoes occurring proximal to the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and moving in and out of apposition with the posterior aortic wall. During systole, this line of echoes moved away from the aorta into the left atrium, and during diastole, the line moved into the aorta. Recognition of these features provides a potential noninvasive way to diagnose aneurysms of the left sinus of Valsalva prior to rupture.
