Congenital mitral valve disease represents a very small percentage of the total number of congenital heart diseases. In addition, the population that reaches adulthood with this valvulophaty is unusual. We have reported two cases with mitral regurgitation, derived for their quantification with transesophageal echocardiography by the cardiovascular surgery service under the presumed diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse due to myxomatous disease. The fundamental role of the cardiac image and its interpretation allow an accurate diagnosis and guide the surgeon to make decisions.
