چکیده
Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a less common form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO); commonest being the valvular aortic stenosis followed by valvular and subvalvular forms respectively. Most of the supravalvular aortic stenosis is associated with Williams syndrome; isolated supravalvular aortic stenosis is further rarer. We present a case of isolated SVAS with infective endocarditis (1.6) as the cause of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO).
