The purpose of this communication is to present a successful case of surgical treatment of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation associated with ankylosing spondylosis. A 48-year-old male was admitted with symptoms of palpitation and shortness of breath. His heart murmur had been pointed out for 4 months prior to this admission. His previous history did not show any evidence of rheumatic heart disease. Retrograde aortography showed moderate to severe aortic valvular regurgitation and echocardiography revealed mitral valve regurgitation with minor degree. At the same time he complained of rigidity of neck muscle as well as back pain for last 15 years. He underwent aortic valve replacement and mitral valve was left alone. His postoperative course was uneventful. In Japan, aortic valve regurgitation associated with ankylosing spondylosis has been reported to be very rare compared to the European or American people. Several important features in the diagnosis and operative treatment for this combination of diseases have been also discussed.
