Submitral aneurysm (SMA) is a rare anomaly that typically occurs adjacent to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. We report the case of a ten-year-old female child presenting with SMA with anteroinferior extension, differing from the more typical posterior and lateral extension. Successful surgical management is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
