Introduction
Aortic leaflet perforation leading to aortic regurgitation is a known complication of blunt chest trauma. There are some case series1-2 and case reports3-12describing such cases. These patients report either immediately or within weeks of the trauma, with dyspnea and chest pain. They need to be operated urgently with either aortic valve replacement or repair as found suitable. Here we describe a patient who was asymptomatic 2 years after blunt chest trauma and was incidentally detected to have severe aortic regurgitation (AR) caused by a tear in the non-adjacent leaflet (NAL).
