Gramenzi et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus (n=1). Caseous calcification of the mitral annulus was evaluated on Spontaneous resolution. A 60-year-old woman experienced spontaneous resolution of caseous calcification of the mitral annulus, suggesting it may be an early and reversible stage of mitral annular calcification.
