Cerebrovascular accidents were observed in patients with migraine, and systematic investigation for the presence of a mitral valve prolapse was positive in all cases. Precise diagnosis requires ultrasonography examination. The pathogenicity of the cerebrovascular accidents in these patients could involve an emboligenic mechanism related to the prolapse of the mitral valve.

The authors compared the radiological findings in 29 cases with the operative or autopsy findings and discuss the criteria at present adopted during standard radiological examination and hemodynamic and angiographic exploration of mitral incompetency to determine the anatomical type. From the radiological findings, one may characterize acute mitral incompetency with a small heart and pulmonary vascular changes from chronic mitral incompetency, the diagnostic criteria of valvular prolapse, ruptures of the chordae tendineae and poor function of the papillary muscles. The authors give a synthesis of their results compared with those in the literature.

This study compares the information supplied by auscultation, echocardiography and left ventriculography in the diagnosis of mitral prolapse from a study of the world literature and a personal study. A click on auscultation or a telesystolic click murmur is noted in almost 74 p. cent of cases. Echocardiography may lead to false negatives in partial prolapse of the posterior valve and in ventriculography, even judged according to strict and restrictive criteria they may make errors by excess. Telemetric echocardiography may assess in an overall way the number or prolapsed valvular structures and the degree of mitral incompetence. The respective indications of the 3 methods are given in detail.
