This case report highlights the rare incidental finding of a double orifice mitral valve in a patient with a known bicuspid aortic valve, diagnosed via transthoracic echocardiography.
Double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) es a extremely rare, congenital or acquired anomaly characterized by a two-channel atrioventricular valve in the left ventricle. We describe a case of an 18-year-old women with previous history of bicuspid aortic valve with an incidental finding of DOMV. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), on para-sternal short-axis view, two separate asymmetric mitral valve orifices were visualized. Management is related to the type and severity of mitral valve dysfunction, with mitral regurgitation being the predominant finding.
