AbstractLibman–Sacks endocarditis may be the first manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. The risk of its occurrence increases with the co-existence of the anti-phospholipid syndrome. Changes usually involve the mitral valve and the aortic valve. In this report, we present a case of Libman–Sacks endocarditis of the tricuspid valve in a teenage girl.

Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis

Libman-Sacks endocarditis is non-infectious thrombotic involvement of cardiac valves seen in systemic lupus erythematosus.1,2 Mitral valve followed by aortic valve are involved in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, involvement of tricuspid valve is rare.3 A case of a 36-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus with isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis has been reported here. Within the background of the relevant medical literature, this is a rare event. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, mostly the aortic and mitral valves are affected.4 Echo shows evidence of vegetation in tip and septa of tricuspid valve which is suggestive of Libman-Sacks endocarditis. In our case we have discussed Libman-Sacks endocarditis involving tricuspid valve.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis, one of the most prevalent cardiac presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus, typically affects the aortic or mitral valve; tricuspid valve involvement is highly unusual. Secondary antiphospholipid syndrome increases the frequency and severity of cardiac valvular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman with lupus and antiphospholipid syndrome whose massive tricuspid regurgitation was caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis isolated to the tricuspid valve. In addition, we discuss this rare case in the context of the relevant medical literature.
