Abstract

In 10% of cases of mitral stenosis the echocardiogram shows a normal backward movement of the posterior mitral leaflet. On the basis of a personal observation the authors suggest that this atypical pattern is related to the type (commissural) and degree (slight) of the valvular involvement.
