Mitral valve diseases are relatively rare in the paediatric population; however, they can cause considerable mortality and morbidity worldwide. Acquired causes are a major contributor to cardiovascular disease burden in the paediatric population. Diseases can be detected before birth, at birth, or when the child is older and presents with symptoms of advanced heart failure. Definitive management consists of surgical intervention, with mitral valve replacement being the gold standard.
