Sažetak
Congenital anomalies of the mitral valve may be isolated lesions or associated with other complex congenital heart defects. Each level of the mitral valve can be affected from the annulus, leaflets, chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. Isolated mitral stenosis is one of the rarest form of congenital heart disease (0.6%) but can be associated with other left side abnormalities1 . Most cases of mitral stenosis are diagnosed in early childhood leading to mitral valve repair or replacement. Unoperated congenital mitral stenosis in an adult will be limited to rather mild or moderately severe stenosis with symptoms and complications identical to rheumatic mitral valve disease. Mitral valve regurgitation due to primary mitral valve prolapse has a prevalence of 2.4% and is the most frequently diagnosed cardiac valvular abnormality. It occurs mostly as an isolated valve dysfunction but can be associated with connective tissue diseases or other cardiac abnormalities. Echocardiography is the definite diagnostic method for congenital mitral valve anomalies but in presence of multiple lesions, hemodynamic assessment by cardiac catheterization can be useful.
