Abstract
A rare case of congenital mitral insufficiency characterized by six well-demarcated leaflets of mitral valve and annular dilatation is reported. At operation, the mitral valve was successfully repaired by resection of the posterior median leaflet with subsequent annular plication, closure of unusual valvular tissue divisions, and ring annuloplasty.
