A 21-year-old woman had congenital mitral regurgitation. Echocardiography showed absence of the anterolateral papillary muscle and corresponding marginal chordae. This rare abnormality was corrected by anterolateral commissural annuloplasty and insertion of artificial chordae to prevent prolapse of the anterior leaflet. Postoperatively, there was no regurgitation, and an appropriate mitral valve area was achieved.
