Abstract

We report an unusual case of moderate mitral regurgitation caused by abnormal insertion of chordae tendinea to the interatrial septum and tethering the middle scallop of the anterior mitral leaflet. This is an extremely rare congenital abnormality causing mitral regurgitation. (Echocardiography 2012;29:E87-E90) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
