Article Abstract

Submitral aneurysm (SMA) is a rare anomaly that typically occurs adjacent to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. We report the case of a ten-year-old female child presenting with SMA with anteroinferior extension, differing from the more typical posterior and lateral extension. Successful surgical management is described.

Background: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology characterized by a large vessel vasculitis involving the aorta and its branches. Myocardial involvement is extremely unusual in TA and is mostly in the form of myocarditis, ventricular hypertrophy, and ventricular dysfunction secondary to coronary ischemia. Submitral aneurysms have been reported in TA and has been attributed to the chronic inflammatory process in TA.

Sub-mitral aneurysm (SMA) has usually been reported as a consequence of myocardial ischemia (MI), rheumatic heart disease, tuberculosis, and infective endocarditis.
