An echocardiographic finding presenting itself as a ruptured noncoronary aortic cusp is described. The basic finding included a constant diastolic echo separation of the right coronary and noncoronary cusps, noncoronary cusp prolapse in the direction of the posterior aortic wall and its high-frequency diastolic flutter. The diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. The case study reaffirmed the clinical value of echocardiography which was the only technique, including the invasive ones, permitting to make an accurate morphological diagnosis.

A 35 years old second gravida was admitted to our department with acute pulmonary oedema after labor. Echocardiography disclosed an intra-atrial membrane prolapsing through the mitral valve in diastole, with two small orifices creating a mean pressure gradient of 7.9 mm Hg. However the membrane clearly originated away from the mitral valve ring, proximal to the left atrial appendage, consistent with cor triatriatum sinister. Cor triatriatum sinister rarely presents in adulthood and although forward movement of the membrane towards the mitral valve funnel has been described, such a degree of prolapse through the valve has never been reported.
