ABSTRACT
Aortic root abscess is one of the dreaded complications of aortic valve infective endocarditis. It carries a very high morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment is the main key. Echocardiography aids in early detection of this complication. We report a 22 year old male patient of bicuspid aortic valve with native aortic valve endocarditis complicated with formation of aortic root abscess and severe aortic regurgitation(AR) through an Left ventricular outflow tract(LVOT) tunnel.
