CALCIFIED NONSYPHILITIC ANEURYSMS OF THE SINUSES OF VALSALVA

ROBERT T. REINKE M.D., MARC N. COEL M.D., and CHARLES B. HIGGINS M.D.

Calcification of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm has been considered specific for a syphilitic aortitis.

The current report contains 2 cases of calcified aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva due to nonsyphilitic inflammatory disease. These 2 cases along with 2 cases previously reported to be congenital in origin comprise a total of 4 reported cases with calcified aneurysms of the sinuses of Valsalva of nonsyphilitic etiology.

Thus, calcified sinus of Valsalva aneurysms are not specific for syphilitic aortitis, but may rarely be associated with any of the etiologic factors responsible for these aneurysms.
