REBELO, João; CARVALHO, André; PORTUGAL1, Inês y CUNHA1,2, Rui. Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Valve Annulus: A Case Report. Acta Radiol Port [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.2, pp.19-21. Epub 07-Jul-2021. ISSN 2183-1351. https://doi.org/10.25748/arp.18883.
Annular calcification of the mitral valve annulus results from chronic degeneration of its fibrous valve annulus that may present as caseous calcification. This represents a rare and idiopathic variant whose lack of knowledge can lead to misdiagnosis.
The authors present a case report of caseous calcification of the mitral valve annulus, including its main imaging findings and differential diagnoses.
