Submitral aneurysm is a congenital out pouching of the left ventricular wall invariably occurring adjacent to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. This rare cardiac entity was initially described among the natives of South and West Africa and is considered rare in the Indian subcontinent. The clinical picture is dominated by congestive cardiac failure in the presence of mitral regurgitation. Echocardiography provides precise non-invasive diagnosis. The literature is reviewed to increase the awareness of clinicians, especially echocardiographers about this rare cardiac disorder when coming across congestive cardiac failure with mitral regurgitation in young population.
二尖瓣下动脉瘤是左心室壁的先天性向外膨出，总是发生在二尖瓣后叶附近。这种罕见的心脏疾病最初在南非和西非的原住民中被描述，在印度次大陆被认为很罕见。临床表现以二尖瓣反流时的充血性心力衰竭为主。超声心动图可提供精确的无创诊断。本文对相关文献进行综述，以提高临床医生，尤其是超声心动图医生在遇到年轻人群中伴有二尖瓣反流的充血性心力衰竭时，对这种罕见心脏疾病的认识。
