title: Accessory mitral valve tissue as a cause of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and probable cause of cerebrovascular accident.
abstract: Accessory mitral valve tissue is a rare finding in echocardiographic examinations. We report a case with an echocardiographically detected accessory mitral valve tissue which caused left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and was presumably responsible for a cerebrovascular accident.
