“…Increasingly, the data from reports of ARF/RHD in children aged <10 years are characterized by manifestation at a very young age, short duration and rapid progression of symptoms, and with high prevalence of severe PAH and pulmonary venous hypertension . Among the few case reports of RHD in children aged <7 years, the youngest patient of RHD documented till now is 3½ years old [2,]. Thus, our patient (2 years and 6 months at diagnosis) becomes the youngest documented case of RHD till date.…”

Juvenile rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is common in the Indian subcontinent. Early recognition and management is essential. Rarely rheumatic MS may occur in <5 years of age, wherein rapid hemodynamic progression and cardiac morbidity and mortality occurs. Severe/symptomatic MS in preschool age requires urgent and meticulous decision making. Condition of valve and wishes of parents may complicate management decisions. Percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) may, therefore, become the only life-saving intervention in these cases unless contraindicated, although the procedure entails considerable technical issues in this age group. Herein, we report a successful balloon mitral valvotomy in a 4-year-old child with severe rheumatic MS (documented since 2 years 6 months of age) presenting with repeated pulmonary edema. To the best of our knowledge, this child is the youngest documented case of established rheumatic heart disease and also one of the youngest PTMC procedure performed. This report supports the clinical usefulness of PTMC in childhood MS; however, pertinent technical issues are raised, which needs a proper consensus.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) affecting all four valves of the heart is extremely rare. We report quadrivalvular involvement in an early adolescent male patient. The patient presented with symptomatic severe mitral and tricuspid stenosis that underscores the rapid and fulminant nature of the disease and can still be seen in developing countries. This patient underwent a combined percutaneous balloon dilation of the mitral and tricuspid valves in a single intervention and is the youngest patient to have undergone this dual intervention in RHD.
