# Laubry–Pezzi Syndrome: A Case Report of a Rare Entity

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare heart condition called Laubry-Pezzi syndrome in a 23-year-old woman and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.

## Contribution

The paper presents a new case report of Laubry-Pezzi syndrome and emphasizes the need for tailored management strategies.

## Key findings

- Early closure of the ventricular septal defect is recommended to prevent aortic regurgitation progression.
- Tailored management strategies, including aortic valve repair or replacement, may be necessary depending on the severity of the condition.

## Abstract

Laubry-Pezzi syndrome is a rare congenital cardiac condition characterized by a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and aortic regurgitation (AR) due to aortic cusp prolapse. Although the management of this syndrome is not well-established, early closure of the VSD is recommended to prevent or minimize the progression of AR. This report presents a case of a 23-year-old female diagnosed with Laubry-Pezzi syndrome. Our findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and prompt intervention to reduce the risk of complications, such as infective endocarditis and progressive aortic valve dysfunction. This report underscores the need for tailored management strategies, with the possibility of aortic valve repair or replacement depending on the severity of AR and VSD.
