AB  - Isolated,  non-reoperative  congenital  mitral  valve  abnormalities  in  adults  are  rare.1,2  Mitral  pathology  concurrent  with  other  cardiac  anomalies  is  less  rare.  Atrial  septal  defect  is  the  third  commonest  congenital  cardiac  lesion  presenting  in  adulthood,  occurring  in  an  estimated  1/5700  persons,  nearly  10%  are  ostium  primum  defects,  and  almost  all  primum  defects  have  an  associated  mitral  valve  cleft.3  Congenital  mitral  valve  pathology  such  as  arcade  or  parachute  mitral  valve  very  rarely  present  in  adulthood,  though  the  patients  surviving  unrepaired  to  adulthood  may  be  milder  forms,  amenable  to  repair.
