Acute Multiple Cerebral Infarction in a Patient with an Accessory Mitral Valve
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 96-year-old woman developed hemiparesis 2 weeks after orthopedic surgery. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple cerebral infarctions in the bilateral hemisphere. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mobile structure attached to the anterior mitral leaflet that protruded toward the left ventricular outflow tract. The structure was identified as an accessory mitral valve. Doppler echocardiography showed that there was no significant left ventricular outflow obstruction. This is a rare case of a silent accessory mitral valve that was detected after multiple cerebral infarctions.

A rare complication of AMI is papillary muscle rupture (PMR), occurring in 1% of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Mitral regurgitation related to PMR occurs at a median of 1 day (ranging from 1-14 days) after onset of myocardial infarction. PMR tends to occur in those having a first time AMI and those without extensive collateral circulation. PMR involves posteromedial papillary...

A case of 'primary' mitral valve prolapse is documented. The patient was admitted with right-sided hemiplegia of sudden onset, probably caused by a cerebral embolus from the mitral valve. He also had a painless transmural inferior myocardial infarction (MI) of indeterminate age which was diagnosed electrocardiographically and on left ventricular cine angiography. Since selective coronary arteri...
