title: Recurrence of cerebrovascular thromboembolic event in a woman with accessory mitral valve during puerperium period.
abstract: Accessory mitral valve tissue is an extremely rare congenital cardiac anomaly. Most of the cases reported in the literature were associated with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. In this report, a second cerebrovascular event is presented in the same patient two years after an operation in which septal myectomy was performed but accessory mitral valve tissue was not excised.
