Abstract
The last few decades have seen great progress in the early detection and management of congenital heart diseases. Advances in surgical techniques have enabled many children to reach adulthood without the need for further surgery. However, in developing countries, adults with congenital heart disease never diagnosed in childhood are still found. In this case we describe the discovery of congenital mitral stenosis in a 75-year-old female patient.
