Interesting echocardiographic features in a case o f acute onset aortic regurgitation due to infective endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve are reported. Early closure of mitral valve (ECMV) recognised by echocardiography confirmed the clinical diagnosis of acute inset aortic regurgitation. Aortic root echocardiogram showed ec-centric diastolic closure line of bicuspid aortic leaflets and multiple echoes on aortic leaflets due to bacterial vegetations.
