This case report highlights the rare finding of an isolated double orifice mitral valve in a young patient presenting with mild symptoms.
Isolated double orifice mitral valve may present mildly without anomalies; leaves open questions on natural history and follow-up.
Congenital mitral valve disease or malformation may be isolated or associated with other cardiac anomalies. Mitral valve may affect its different segments during development. This anomaly is due to mitral valve with a single fibrous annulus with two orifices (Double orifices mitral valve) that open into the left ventricle. It may be associated with stenosis and or mitral regurgitation. Here we describe a 17 years young girl with palpitation and shortness of breath on moderate to severe exertion. Examination of the cardiovascular system, chest including precordium revealed no abnormality. She is acyanotic and there is no clubbing. On Trans thoracic Echocardiogram isolated double orifice mitral valve was found with no other associated congenital anomalies. Cardiovasc j 2021; 14(1): 79-81
