A Rare Case of Isolated Rheumatismal Tricuspid Valve Involvement in a Middle-Aged Woman

Introduction: Tricuspid valve stenosis (TS) is often combined with tricuspid regurgitation and most cases of TS have a rheumatic origin. TS is usually associated with other valvopathies when occurring in a rheumatic context. Rheumatismal tricuspid stenosis typically occurs with concomitant mitral and/or aortic involvement. Other causes are rare, including congenital, carcinoid, and drug -induced valve disease, Whipple`s disease, endocarditis, and large right atrial tumor. Case Presentation: Here, we present a 42 -year -old symptomatic woman with isolated TS due to rheumatic heart disease. Conclusion: Patients suffering from rheumatic heart disease should be on regular followups and periodically assessed with echocardiography. In the present case, the tricuspid valve was involved in isolation.
