ABSTRACT
We share interesting images of an association of rare congenital disorders in our environment. Female patient 43 years old with a history of being a smoker and mitral valve prolapse (MVP). At the echocardiogram performed was observed in two-dimensional mode moderate dilatation of the left ventricle (LV) and both atria, thickening of both mitral leaflets, leaflet redundant posterior mitral with severe prolapse segments P2 and P3, atrial septum (TIA) rejected to the right atrium (RA) with absence of echogenicity in its middle and rear portion which measured 16 mm. With color Doppler systolic turbulence was observed in the left atrium (AI) that reached the roof of it, facing the TIA, with Coanda effect, such turbulence crossed the TIA, showing a shunt from left to right. The study concluded with the diagnosis of severe mitral valve regurgitation by severe prolapse posterior mitral valve and presence of atrial septal defect (ASD) osteum secundum.
