Abstract
A case of a successful surgical treatment for traumatic mitral valve regurgitation is reported. A 44-year-old, small-statured female with cretinism had a traffic accident. Eleven days after the accident, she was admitted to our hospital with severe respiratory distress syndrome by acute pulmonary edema. Echocardiography showed severe mitral regurgitation due to tendon rupture of posterior leaflet. Mitral valve plasty was performed successfully.
