Parachute deformity of the mitral valve

J H N Bett 1, P G I Stovin 1
PMCID: PMC472066  PMID: 5348334

Abstract

A case of parachute deformity of the mitral valve, a rare congenital form of mitral stenosis characterized by insertion of the chordae tendineae into a single posterior papillary muscle, is described in an 11-year-old girl. The eleven other cases in the English literature are reviewed.
