Perforated posterior mitral leaflet aneurysm in an 8-month-old infant
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2020
Abstract
Mitral valve aneurysm not associated with infective endocarditis is rarely reported in children. We report a case of perforated posterior mitral leaflet aneurysm in an infant with reference to surgical and histopathological findings. Although its aetiology remains unclear, we suggest to include mitral valve aneurysm in differential diagnosis as a cause of mitral regurgitation in children.
