Aortic insufficiency in Reiter's syndrome of juvenile onset. 1984

O Hübscher, and J Graci y Susini

Reiter's syndrome is an uncommon cause of childhood arthritis and aortic incompetence is extremely rare in these patients. A 7-year-old boy with Reiter's syndrome and hemodynamically significant aortic insufficiency is reported. He was HLD-B27 positive and valvular incompetence was detected 32 months after the onset while active synovitis was still present.

D001022	Aortic Valve Insufficiency	Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).
