Abstract

Noonan syndrome is an inherited disorder that involves various organs, such as dysmorphic facial features, cardiac defects, and cryptorchidism, among others. Its pathophysiology is linked to germ-line mutations in the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The most frequent cardiac defect in this syndrome is pulmonary valve stenosis. Conversely, mitral valve involvement is rare, and a parachute-like asymmetric mitral valve presentation is even rarer. In cases where surgery is necessary, mitral valve repair is preferred over mitral valve replacement. Here we present a case of a 20-year-old gentleman with Noonan syndrome who was found to have a parachute-like mitral valve evidenced by a 2D-Echocardiogram.
