We report the case of a rare congenital anomaly, a double-orifice mitral valve, in a 23-year-old woman who was asymptomatic and had no history of heart disease. Transthoracic and multiplane transesophageal echocardiography revealed 2 functionally normal orifices of equal size, the least frequent anatomic presentation of this anomaly. We prescribed antibiotic prophylaxis because of the concomitant presence of a mildly stenotic bicuspid aortic valve and recommended annual follow-up examinations to monitor both lesions for possible progression.
