Abstract

A large mass arising from the aortic valve caused supravalvar aortic stenosis in a 4-year-old girl. The differential diagnosis included an organized thrombus or myxoma. Following surgical excision, there was resolution of choreioform movements and tongue thrusting, which had been present for 1 week preoperatively.
