Case reports of traumatic aortic regurgitation are rare. We report a case of a 62-year-old man injured by falling from a paraglider. After recovering from multiple injuries and discharge, he began to suffer from dyspnea. Severe aortic regurgitation and pseudoaneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva were diagnosed by ultrasound cardio graphy（UCG）and multi-detector-row computer tomography（MDCT). After cardiac failure was controlled, we operated. The commissure between the left and the right coronary cusps was detached from the aortic wall, and a modified Bentall operation was performed. The patient recovered well and was discharged uneventfully.
