Mrs B, a 49-year-old female, was referred to our institution for severe mitral regurgitation. Transthoracic echocardiography showed only a moderate organic mitral regurgitation, but a transient severe reversible functional mitral regurgitation was observed during transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Three-dimensional TEE clearly demonstrated the functional nature of the regurgitation with a transient and sudden tenting of the mitral leaflets with a circular mitral annulus resulting in a total absence of leaflet coaptation.
B夫人，一名49岁女性，因严重二尖瓣反流被转诊至我院。经胸超声心动图仅显示中度器质性二尖瓣反流，但在经食管超声心动图（TEE）检查期间观察到短暂的严重可逆性功能性二尖瓣反流。三维TEE清楚地显示了反流的功能性本质，二尖瓣叶短暂突然膨出，二尖瓣环呈圆形，导致瓣叶完全无法对合。
