ABSTRACT
Isolated congenital pulmonary valve regurgitation (IPVR) is very rare.
Etiologies of absent pulmonary valve and bicuspid/dysplastic pulmonary
valve are among the more common congenital causes of this condition.
Here we present a rare cause of IPVR caused by absent single pulmonary
cusp. A review of literature to establish timing and management of
isolated pulmonary regurgitation is also attempted.
