Quadricuspid pulmonic valve is a rare congenital anomaly which appears to occur in the absence of other cardiac or systemic anomalies. It predominates in males and tends to be clinically quiescent. The first case of quadricuspid pulmonic valve in a live newborn infant diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography is presented here with a review of the literature.

Quadricuspid pulmonic valve is a rare congenital abnormality and because of its difficult non-invasive assessment, it is usually discovered incidentally at autopsies (reported prevalence in post-mortem specimens ranges from 1 in 400 to 1 in 2000). Unlike a bicuspid pulmonary valve, it rarely presents with clinical complications, such as valvular insufficiency or stenosis. Abnormal function is rarely reported in cases that are not associated with other congenital heart disease.
