[Visual complications of mitral leaflet prolapse (author's transl)]. 1980

J M Vallat, and Y Cuisinier, and D Renaudin, and J M Vallat, and M Dumas, and A Robin

Among ten patients with acute ischemic cerebral accident and mitral leaflet prolapse, two women presented with visual disturbances consistent with embolism in the ophthalmic or posterior cerebral circulation. These observations emphasize the importance of thorough cardiovascular assessment in all patients with acute cerebral or ocular ischemia, and we suggest that echocardiography should be part of routine investigation of such patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D008945 Mitral Valve Prolapse Abnormal protrusion or billowing of one or both of the leaflets of MITRAL VALVE into the LEFT ATRIUM during SYSTOLE. This allows the backflow of blood into left atrium leading to MITRAL VALVE INSUFFICIENCY; SYSTOLIC MURMURS; or CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA.
