Abstract
A 6-year-old girl with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) III-B (Sanfilippo syndrome) who developed severe mitral regurgitation and congestive heart failure requiring surgery (valvuloplasty) is reported. One year after surgery the patient remains well, with marked improvement in her physical activity, and without signs of heart failure. This is only the second report of severe mitral regurgitation in MPS III, and is the first report of a successful repair (valvuloplasty) of a dysplastic mitral valve in the MPS. Mitral valvuloplasty should be considered instead of valve replacement in any MPS patient with mitral valve regurgitation requiring surgery.Publisher
