Electrocardiogram showed right bundle branch block (Figure 1).
Parasternal long-axis 2D view from TTE showing mitral valve diastolic phase. The arrow points to the posterior mitral annulus with no visible posterior mitral leaflet.

TTE, we did not visualize a posterior mitral leaflet (Figures 2 and 3), which was highlighted with M mode (Figure 4). The patient recovered well, with minimal oxygen supplementation and chest tube placement.
Parasternal short-axis 2D view from TTE showing mitral valve systolic phase with prominent anterior mitral leaflet and absent posterior leaflet.

TTE, we did not visualize a posterior mitral leaflet (Figures 2 and 3), which was highlighted with M mode (Figure 4). The patient recovered well, with minimal oxygen supplementation and chest tube placement.
M mode depicting absence of posterior leaflet. The posterior mitral leaflet is typically seen in diastole below the anterior leaflet, which is visualized well in a high-quality M-mode imaging. The arrow points to the area of missing posterior leaflet. In addition, this M mode shows loss of E-F slope.
