Two cases of extracardiac unruptured Valsalva aneurysms due to rare causes are reported. One patient had been suffering from hyper eosinophilic syndrome. Operative corrections consisted of total replacement of the aortic root. The other patient had an aneurysm of just noncoronary sinus of Valsalva and a dilated ascending aorta due to cystic mucoid degeneration. Replacement of the ascending aorta with patch closure for the aneurysm was successfully performed.
