Double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is a rare congenital anomaly that is often associated with cardiac malformation. Valve dysfunction usually presents in childhood; therefore, most cases are diagnosed with DOMV in childhood. Its prevalence and prognostic relevance in adulthood are unknown. Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old woman who presented to the outpatient clinic with an abnormal electrocardiogram and was found to have an isolated double orifice mitral valve malformation on transthoracic echocardiography. Echocardiography is the diagnostic tool of choice for patients with double orifice mitral valves. We should familiarize ourselves with the echocardiographic features of DOMV in order to improve the detection.
双孔二尖瓣(DOMV)是一种罕见的先天性异常,常与心脏畸形相关。瓣膜功能障碍通常在儿童期出现;因此,大多数双孔二尖瓣病例是在儿童期被诊断出来的。其在成年期的患病率及预后相关性尚不清楚。在此,我们报告一例38岁女性,因心电图异常到门诊就诊,经胸超声心动图检查发现其患有孤立性双孔二尖瓣畸形。超声心动图是双孔二尖瓣患者的首选诊断工具。我们应熟悉双孔二尖瓣的超声心动图特征,以提高其检出率。
