Prenatal Diagnosis of Obstructive Accessory Mitral Valve Tissue
摘要
Accessory mitral valve tissue (AMVT) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. The majority of affected patients are under 18 years of age, and AMVT may lead to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. We present a case of a 33-year-old pregnant woman (gravida 2, para 2) who underwent detailed fetal echocardiography at 28 weeks of gestation, which demonstrated obstructive AMVT. At 4 months of age, the infant underwent surgical resection owing to an increased pressure gradient across the LVOT and ventricular septal thickening at the LVOT. This case highlights the diagnostic value of fetal echocardiography in identifying AMVT and the importance of regular postnatal follow-up.
