Abstract
Anomalies of the mitral valve may involve one or more of its components: the mitral annulus, valve leaflets, chordae tendinae, or papillary muscles. Mitral valve anomalies are commonly associated with additional cardiovascular anomalies. This chapter focuses on isolated congenital mitral valve anomalies - mitral valve prolapse, cleft mitral valve, straddling mitral valve, double-orifice mitral valve, and congenital mitral stenosis - and congenital giant left atrium. Acquired mitral stenosis and the "classic" giant left atrium seen with rheumatic heart disease are discussed in Chapter 38 of this volume. Cor triatriatum, which results from incomplete absorption of the common pulmonary vein, is discussed in Chapter 9.
