OBJECTIVE: To summarize the echocardiographic features of a wide spectrum of congenital @entity339 . METHODS: The medical records, echocardiograms, cardiac catheterization studies, and surgical reports were reviewed. The @entity339 evaluated in the study included @entity339 , double orifice mitral valve, @entity4794 with 2 papillary muscles, anomalous @entity717 , and 3 commissures and papillary muscles in 15 cases. Surgeries were performed in 11 @entity1 , and 1 @entity1 underwent transcatheter closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. RESULTS: The echocardiograms of 6 cases of @entity339 were characterized by a hypoplastic mitral valve with short @entity10273 to a single posterior medial papillary muscle. The mitral valve demonstrated restricted motion. The double orifice mitral valve were featured by two separate mitral valve orifice, with each suborifice supported by its own tension apparatus in 4 @entity1 . Asymmetric hypoplastic @entity4794 with two papillary muscles was found in 1 @entity1 with short and unbalanced @entity10273 to the anterior lateral major papillary muscle. Anomalous @entity717 was found in 1 @entity1 . @entity154 with 3 major commissures and 3 papillary muscles was found in 3 @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: Echocardiography offers clear demonstration of the mitral valve thickness and @entity10273 , and allows visualization of the position and the number of the papillary muscles and interpapillary spaces for evaluation of the mobility of the valve leaflets, therefore can be a valuable diagnostic modality for congenital @entity339 , especially @entity4794 .
