The mitral valve aneurysm is a rare disease that is usually induced by infective endocarditis. While the mechanism of the development of this lesion is unclear, complications such as perforation can occur and lead to significant mitral regurgitation. We describe a patient presented with ruptured aneurysm of anterior mitral leaflet resulting in acute severe mitral regurgitation that was confirmed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Early detection and prompt intervention are important to prevent the complications of valvular aneurysms, which include rupture, embolism, and endocarditis. This report emphasizes the role of echocardiography in evaluating the mitral valve aneurysms and its complications.
二尖瓣动脉瘤是一种罕见疾病，通常由感染性心内膜炎引起。虽然这种病变的发生机制尚不清楚，但可能会出现诸如穿孔等并发症，并导致严重的二尖瓣反流。我们描述了一名患者，其前叶二尖瓣动脉瘤破裂导致急性严重二尖瓣反流，经胸和经食管超声心动图证实。早期发现和及时干预对于预防瓣膜动脉瘤的并发症（包括破裂、栓塞和心内膜炎）很重要。本报告强调了超声心动图在评估二尖瓣动脉瘤及其并发症中的作用。
