Abstract

Congenital mitral valve stenosis is a rare and severe disease, usually associated with other heart defects. The appropriate intervention depends on the site and mechanism of valvular obstruction and the aim is to avoid or delay valve replacement since it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 2-month male infant with a typical, severe mitral valve stenosis, mild bicuspid aortic valve stenosis, small patent foramen ovale, severe pulmonary hypertension with florid pulmonary edema. Keywords: Congenital Mitral Stenosis, Bicuspid Aortic Valve Stenosis, Severe Pulmonary Hypertension, Patent Foramen Ovale, Transthoracic Echocardiography.
