چکیده

The clinical course of 38 patients with congenital mitral stenosis (MS) is reviewed. Associated cardiac defects were present in 28 patients, including tetralogy of Fallot in five. In all but one of the eight patients with supravalvar mitral ring (SVR), there were concomitant abnormalities of the mitral valve. Delay in the diagnosis of MS was common. Serial cardiac catheterizations and pulmonary pathologic examination indicated that pulmonary vascular obstructive disease develops during childhood. Mitral valve

دریچه میترال دو دهانه با تنگی شدید، یک مورد نادر

Double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is an uncommon anomaly that was first described by Greenfield. Since then more than 200 cases have been reported. In this anomaly, mitral valve has a single fibrous annulus which opens with two openings into the left ventricle. We report a case of DOMV accompanied with severe stenosis in a 22-year old female who had complaints of moderate dyspnea. In transth...

Pacman Heart as a Congenital Cardiac Defect Associated with Flail Mitral Valve and a Partial form of Shone\'s Complex; A Case Report

Partial muscular inter-ventricular septal defect (VSD) or Pacman heart is a rare congenital or occasionally acquired anomaly. Concurrent Pacman heart and Shone's complex are extremely rare and have never been reported until now. We described a 37-year-old male patient with congenital Pacman heart, flail mitral valve (FMV), and a history of multiple congenital anomalies, including subvalvular ao...

Echocardiography in the diagnosis of congenital mitral stenosis and in evaluation of the results of mitral valvotomy.

Seven patients with congenital mitral stenosis have been investigated with echocardiography using reflected ultrasound. In all cases the mitral stenosis was combined with other cardiovascular malformations. The results are compared with those obtained at clinical investigation, cardiac catheterization, and operation and/or autopsy. It is concluded that the method is of definite value in diagnos...

Isolated congenital mitral stenosis.

ISOLATED congenital mitral stenosis is an extremely rare condition. Only 8 cases have been reported in the literature, whereas 37 cases are recorded in association with other cardiac anomalies, such as patent ductus arteriosus, aortic stenosis, coarctation of the aorta, and aortic valve anomaly.' This paper describes 2 female infants, 4 months and 3 months old, respectively, with isolated conge...

Congenital mitral stenosis. Anatomical and functional assessment by echocardiography.

Digitised left ventricular echocardiograms were studied in nine children with congenital mitral stenosis to assess the severity of inflow obstruction. In six children the two prime indices of mitral stenosis were abnormal, with a prolonged time from minimum dimension to 20 per cent dimension change and a reduced peak dimension change during diastole. In three, however, these values did not sugg...

Combined mitral and aortic valve stenosis caused by two different etiologies, rheumatic and congenital.

Described herein are five patients who had double left-sided cardiac valve replacement for mitral and aortic valve stenosis resulting from two different etiologies: rheumatic heart disease, the cause of the mitral stenosis, and congenital heart disease (bicuspid valve), the underlying cause of the aortic stenosis.
