RESUMEN
A 17-year-old woman with mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse and myxomatous degeneration presented puerperal infection by Staphylococcus aureus with clinical picture of sepsis and multiple septic embolism (right eye, left thumb, spleen, and left calf). She underwent total hysterectomy on the 10th day postdelivery and right eye enucleation on the 16th. Temporary total AV block occurred on the 14th day with temporary external pacing during the next couple of days. Acute endocarditis with acute mitral regurgitation was diagnosed on the 13th day, demanding immediate valve replacement. On the 46th day she developed moderate tricuspid valve regurgitation due to another episode of endocarditis. Final clinical discharge took place on the 62nd day after antibiotic therapy completion.

Mulher de 17 anos com prolapso de valvas mitral e tricúspide com sinais de degeneraçäo mixomatosa apresentou infecçäo puerperal por Staphylococcus aureus, com sepse e múltiplas embolias sépticas (órbita e globo ocular direitos, polegar esquerdo, baço, flegmäo em gastrocnêmio esquerdo), resultando histerectomia total dno 10§ dia pós-parto e enucleaçäo do globo ocular direito no 16§. Foram diagnosticadas endocardite infecciosa e insuficiência mitral aguda e realizada substituiçäo mitral no 13§ dia pós-parto, ocorrendo bloqueio átrio-ventricular total (BAVT) - necessitando de utilizaçäo de estimulaçäo artificial temporária - no 14§ dia pós-parto, bem como endocardite e insuficiência na tricúspide no 46§ dia pós-parto. A paciente recebeu alta no 62§ dia pós-parto em boas condiçöes clínicas, após término da antibioticoterapia

Two-dimensional echocardiograms were performed in 30 patients with mitral valve prolapse (15 females and 15 males, with an average of 33.3). The main objective was to observe the prevalence of involvement of tricuspid and aortic valves. Tricuspid valve prolapse was observed in 43.3% with anterior and septal involvement in 92.3% and posterior involvement in 15.3%. The incidence of aortic prolapse was 10% with involvement of both right coronary and non-coronary leaflets. All patients with aortic valve prolapse showed involvement of both mitral leaflets and at least two tricuspid leaflets. It is concluded that involvement of other valves such as tricuspid (43.3) and aortic (10%) is a common finding in patients with mitral valve prolapse.

Foram estudados, através da ecocardiografia bidimensional, 30 pacientes portadores de prolapso da valva mitral, sendo 15 do sexo feminino e 15 masculino, com idade média de 33,3 anos, com o objetivo de observar a prevalência de concomitante prolapso valvar tricúspide e aórtico. O prolapso da valva tricúspide foi obsrvado em 43,3% dos pacientes (13/30 anos, sendo que o folheto anterior e septal estava acometido em 92,3% e o posterior em 15,3% dos casos. A prevalência de prolapso da valva aórtica foi de 10% dos casos (3/30), estando ambos os folhetos avaliados - coronariano direito e näo coronariano - acometidos. Todos os pacientes com prolapso valvar aórtico apresentavam acometimento dos dois folhetos mitrais e de, no mínimo, dois folhetos tricuspídeos. Conclui-se que é comum o acometimento simultâneo das valvas tricúspide e aórtica em pacientes portadores de prolapso da valva mitral
