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.
