Abstract
Accessory mitral valve (AMV) is a rare congenital cardiac
anomaly that has been reported in 1 in 26,000 people in an echocardiography series. Most cases of AMV are associated with
other cardiac abnormalities. Although patients with AMV are usually asymptomatic, syncope, exercise intolerance, and chest
pain are described in patients with left ventricular outflow (LVOT)
obstruction. Here we present the case of an asymptomatic child
with a diagnosis of AMV using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) images.
