Aortic valve commissure detachment can easily lead to sudden onset of severe AR, deteriorating haemodynamics, and acute pulmonary oedema. Since delayed medical treatment leads to poor clinical outcomes, prompt and accurate diagnosis and appropriately timed surgical intervention are essential. This very rare case of severe AR worsening due to spontaneous aortic valve commissure dissection was evaluated with multiple modalities during hospitalization. Understanding this clinical condition will help cardiologists provide better medical care.
