Congenital mitral ring is a rare type of congenital mitral stenosis. There are two types of mitral ring: the intramitral ring and the supramitral ring. Intramitral rings are often associated with complex valve pathology, and therefore have a worse prognosis than supramitral rings, in which the mitral apparatus is usually normal. The role of echocardiography in the evaluation of the mitral valve apparatus is crucial, because it allows an identification of the types of malformation, their hemodynamic repercussion and early predictors of the outcome. We describe two cases of intramitral ring, the diagnostic challenge they provided, and the value of the information obtained using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in such cases.

Abstract

Congenital mitral ring is a rare type of congenital mitral stenosis. There are two types of mitral ring: the intramitral ring and the supramitral ring. Intramitral rings are often associated with complex valve pathology, and therefore have a worse prognosis than supramitral rings, in which the mitral apparatus is usually normal. The role of echocardiography in the evaluation of the mitral valve apparatus is crucial, because it allows an identification of the types of malformation, their hemodynamic repercussion and early predictors of the outcome. We describe two cases of intramitral ring, the diagnostic challenge they provided, and the value of the information obtained using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography in such cases.
