“…A case of MV ring abscess formed during a 2-week span has been previously reported. 4 Another case report of MV abscess treated with medical therapy alone has also been reported previously. 5 The appearance of an echo-dense structure, which was interpreted as an abscess, was detected merely within 6 days in that case.…”

A patient with infective endocarditis (IE) due to methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was found to have conversion of the hypoechoic region of the posterior mitral valve ring apparatus into a clearly delineated echolucent space by repeating transthoracic echocardiography at an interval of 1 week. Color Doppler showed features of blood entry into this space. Abscess formation in IE due to MRSA may be quick and repeated echocardiography may help detect the complications of IE. Semiurgent mitral valve plasty was performed for the associated prolapse of the posterior mitral leaflet using a hand-made, rolled, twisted autologous pericardial ring.

“…An ill‐defined hypoechoic area in the posterior MVRA was found to be converted into an echo‐free space by repeating the TTE after a week. A case of MV ring abscess formed during a 2‐week span has been previously reported 4 . Another case report of MV abscess treated with medical therapy alone has also been reported previously 5 .…”

“…As a matter of fact, left ventricular pseudoaneurysms may occur as a consequence of mitral valve endocarditis, but they usually affect the posterolateral ventricular wall [6,7]. However, we cannot exclude an initial aortic infection, healed by the first antibiotic treatment but subsequently complicated by the MAIF aneurysm.…”

A rare case of mitro-aortic intervalvular fibrosa aneurysm evolving in the para-aortic cavity

The mitro-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIF) connects the anterior mitral leaflet to the posterior portion of the aortic annulus. The aneurysms of MAIF represent a complication of aortic valve endocarditis, but blunt chest trauma, aortic valve replacement and congenital heart disease have also been reported as a cause. We describe a case of an aneurysm of MAIF, whose progression was documented by serial echocardiographic observations. To the best of our knowledge, this very rare occurrence has not been reported previously.
