Rare Case of Unileaflet Mitral Valve.

ABSTRACT: Unileaflet mitral valve is the rarest of the congenital mitral valve anomalies and is usually life threatening in infancy due to severe mitral regurgitation (MR). In most asymptomatic individuals, it is mostly due to hypoplastic posterior mitral leaflet. We present a 22-year-old male with palpitations, who was found to have an echocardiogram revealing an elongated anterior mitral valve leaflet with severely hypoplastic posterior mitral valve leaflet appearing as a unileaflet mitral valve without MR. Our case is one of the 11 reported cases in the literature so far. We hereby review those cases and conclude that these patients are likely to be at risk of developing worsening MR later in their lives.

A rare case of double orifice mitral valve: A case report.

Project description:Double-orifice mitral valve is a rare congenital anomaly being associated with other cardiac defects and rarely presented in isolation. Valve function can be preserved for long and it is usually an incidental finding. We present an unusual case of double-orifice mitral valve with mitral regurgitation in a middle-aged man associated with the atrial septal defect, highlighting the role of three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.

Hammock mitral valve: a rare cause of congenital mitral regurgitation--a case report.

Project description:Hammock valve, also known as anomalous mitral arcade is a rare mechanism for congenital mitral insufficiency. We report a case of a two-week-old neonate who presented with features of heart failure and an apical systolic murmur. Echocardiogram showed severe mitral regurgitation and abnormal mitral valve with direct attachment of mitral leaflets to papillary muscle without intervening chordae tendinae, typical of hammock valve. Heart failure was controlled with ionotrpes and diuretics. The literature on the hammock mitral valve is reviewed.

A rare finding of giant accessory mitral valve tissue: a case report.

Project description:Background:Accessory mitral valve tissue (AMVT) is a rare anomaly that can be detected in the first decade. It is associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities, such as ventricular septal defect. When detected in adulthood, it is usually an incidental finding on echocardiography. Symptomatic individuals can present with breathlessness, syncope, and features of distal tissue embolization. Cardiac surgery is indicated in those with significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Case summary?:A 45-year-old man without any significant medical history was referred due to an abnormal electrocardiogram. He was asymptomatic from a cardiac perspective. Echocardiography revealed the presence of a giant mobile mass attached to the anterior mitral valve leaflet and prolapsing into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). This was classified as Type IIB2 AMVT. As there was no dynamic outflow tract obstruction on subsequent treadmill stress echocardiography, and in the absence of other coexistent congenital abnormality, surgical excision was not performed. Discussion?:It is important to exclude significant obstruction when a large AMVT is seen to be prolapsing into the LVOT. Three-dimensional echocardiography is the tool of choice for anatomical classification and to assess for concomitant congenital cardiac abnormalities.

Mitral annular fibrous band-a unique morphological variant of a rare congenital mitral valve anomaly: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLeft atrial bands are rare and can be associated with mitral valve dysfunction, heart failure, and stroke. Most cases are identified on autopsy, and the demonstration in vivo is very uncommon. Various anatomical configurations have been reported. This description of a mitral annular fibrous band contributes to the literature as the first reported case to traverse the supravalvular mitral inflow region, without involving the left atrium.Case summaryA 59-year-old man with a history of metastatic duodenal carcinoma was admitted with a 2-week history of fever and rigors. Inflammatory markers were elevated and blood cultures positive for Enterococcus feacium. Transoesophageal echocardiography performed to investigate for infective endocarditis revealed a 2.3 cm long, thin fibrous band attached to the posterior mitral annulus and extending to the base of the middle scallop of the anterior mitral valve leaflet causing localized tethering, but no valve dysfunction. The band was felt to represent a bystander anatomic variant unrelated to the sepsis, which was most likely gastrointestinal in origin. The patient responded well to intravenous antibiotics.ConclusionsThe presence of an abnormal intracardiac structure in the setting of occult infection should always raise the suspicion of infective endocarditis. Using detailed 2D multiplanar and 3D transoesophageal echocardiography, we were able to identify the anomalous band and exclude any overt infective vegetations attached to the band or the leaflets. Once identified, treatment options range from conservative management to surgical resection and mitral valve surgery if concomitant valvular dysfunction is demonstrated.

Left atrial endocarditis as a rare complication of mitral valve endocarditis: a clinical case.

Project description:BackgroundInfective Endocarditis (IE) is considered as a multifaceted problem in every aspect from etiology and presentation to diagnosis and management. Early recognition of this disease and especially its complications, remain a critical task for the cardiologist. Atrial endocarditis is a rare and sometimes unrecognized complication of mitral valve endocarditis.Case presentationWe present a 48 year-old male patient who was admitted to our clinic because of recent onset of malaise, fever, jaundice and peripheral edema. Important physical findings were peripheral stigmata of IE in addition to holosystolic murmur over the left sternal border. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiophy revealed a severe eccentric MR due to a flailed posterior mitral valve caused by IE. The presence of atrial septal endocarditis caused by jet streaming was also observed. Blood culture was positive for streptococcus oralis and antibiotic therapy was immediately initiated. Considering the large burden of infective tissue, the patient was planned for an early surgical intervention. A minimally invasive resection of the atrial mass, direct closure of the defect, resection of the diseased portions of mitral leaflets and implantation of a biological mitral valve prosthesis was performed. Intra-operative and histological findings confirmed provisional diagnosis by echocardiography.ConclusionsTogether with comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation, attention should be placed on mural vegetations and excluded among all cases of mitral valve endocarditis, particularly those with severe eccentric regurgitant jets.

Parachute-Like Mitral Valve Tuberculoma: A Rare Presentation.

Project description:There have been anecdotal reports of tuberculous cardiac involvement, mainly in cases of military tuberculosis or immune deficient individuals. The spectrum of clinical presentations of tuberculous cardiac involvements includes incidental detection of single and multiple well-circumscribed tuberculomas, symptomatic obstructive lesions, AV conduction abnormalities, and even sudden death. We present a case of cardiac tuberculoma in an immune-competent person who presented with worsening dyspnea. The unique morphology of this mass posed an imaging challenge that required 4-dimensional (4D) echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) detail to differentiate the mass from an anterior mitral leaflet (AML) aneurysm. Histological examination after surgical resection confirmed its tuberculous etiology.
