Abstract
Accessory mitral valve (AMV) is a rare congenital abnormality that, rarely, causes left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in adults. We report the case of a 47-year-old man with deteriorating exertional dizziness. Evaluations revealed that the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction was caused by the accessory mitral valve. The patient underwent a successful operation for removal of the accessory mitral valve.Entities:
