我们报告一例罕见的先天性异常，双口二尖瓣，患者为23岁，无症状且无心脏病病史。经胸和多平面经食道超声心动图显示2个功能正常的大小相同的开口，是这种异常最少见的解剖表现。我们开抗生素预防是因为伴有轻度狭窄的二尖瓣，并建议每年进行后续检查，以监测这两种病变的可能进展。(C)2003年威利期刊公司。
We report the case of a rare congenital anomaly, a double-orifice mitral valve, in a 23-year-old woman who was asymptomatic and had no history of heart disease. Transthoracic and multiplane transesophageal echocardiography revealed 2 functionally normal orifices of equal size, the least frequent anatomic presentation of this anomaly. We prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis because of the concomitant presence of a mildly stenotic bicuspid aortic valve and recommended annual follow-up examinations to monitor both lesions for possible progression.
