[Idiopathic mitral subvalvular aneurysm. Report of a case and review of the literature].
An unusual type of annular, subvalvular left ventricular aneurysm is described for the first time in a 64 years-old mexican woman. The pathological characteristics are similar to those cardiac aneurysms of unknown etiology described in African negroes. In this paper, we review the clinical features, diagnostic difficulties and discuss possible etiologic factors related to this condition.
