Abstract:Isolated mitral valve aneurysm is rarely reported in children. In most
cases it is associated with underlying diseaes such as infective
endocarditis. MVA can lead to severe complications that needs surgical
intervention. In this report, we present a 9-year old asymptomatic male
patient with anterior mitral valve aneurysm diagnosed incidentally
during pre-operative evaluation.
