A ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm rarely accompanies the aortic valve endocarditis. A 40-year old female presented with low threshold exertional dyspnea and fever. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography showed ruptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm in right ventricle with multiple vegetation at the aortic root. Initial blood cultures were negative and an empirical antibiotic therapy was started. Patient was operated for surgical repair of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm. An aortic root abscess with rupture of sinus of Valsalva was found at operation. However, postoperatively she developed sepsis and multiorgan failure leading to her death.
