Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare congenital
anomaly associated with congenital
cardiac defects and is usually detected in the
first decade of life. We describe the case of an
18-year old post-Senning asymptomatic
patient who was found to have accessory
mitral valve tissue on transthoracic echocardiography
producing severe left ventricular
outflow tract obstruction.
