Congenital absence of the pericardium (CAP) is a rare disorder in which most patients are asymptomatic. The association between this condition and the development of significant tricuspid valvar regurgitation (TR) has been reported, but the causal relationship between them is not clear. Herein is provided a review of all reported cases of CAP associated with TR, and the potential pathogenetic mechanisms behind this association are discussed. Finally, it is suggested that blunt chest trauma might play be a link between these two isolated findings.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affecting all four valves of the heart is extremely rare. We report quadrivalvular involvement in an early adolescent male patient. The patient presented with symptomatic severe mitral and tricuspid stenosis that underscores the rapid and fulminant nature of the disease and can still be seen in developing countries.

Article Synopsis
- - Diagnosis of tricuspid valve disease in patients with carcinoid heart syndrome is often done with echocardiography, especially in those already diagnosed with carcinoid syndrome.
- - VIPoma is a rare type of tumor occurring in 0.05%-2% of cases, causing symptoms like flushing, diarrhea, and electrolyte issues without typically affecting heart valves.
- - In a notable case, detection of tricuspid regurgitation and stenosis during echocardiography led to a quicker investigation for cancer, ultimately revealing the presence of VIPoma.
