Uncommon manifestation of Ebstein anomaly: A case report of apical displacement involving all tricuspid valve leaflets.

Ebstein anomaly (EA), a rare congenital heart disorder, presents with diverse clinical spectrums. This case report explores a distinctive manifestation of EA, where all three tricuspid valve (TV) leaflets exhibited apical displacement, highlighting a novel aspect in the presentation of this condition. A 44-year-old woman, under long-term medical surveillance for EA, showcased an atypical clinical trajectory marked by the apical displacement of all TV leaflets, which is uncommon in EA. Despite a predominantly asymptomatic course, recent exacerbation of symptoms prompted further evaluation. Diagnostic modalities, including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, revealed severe tricuspid regurgitation concomitant with unprecedented apical displacement of the anterior, septal, and posterior tricuspid leaflets. The displacement of the anterior leaflet was contrary to typical embryonic valvular formation expectations, indicating a unique presentation within EA. The patient underwent annuloplasty surgery, which successfully rectified the anomalous TV architecture. Postoperative evaluation demonstrated mild residual tricuspid regurgitation, and the patient was discharged in stable condition. This case underscores the variability in EA presentations and accentuates the significance of tailored surgical interventions. The observation of apical displacement involving all TV leaflets adds a unique dimension to the existing EA literature, reinforcing the need for careful diagnosis and personalized treatment approaches.
