    AbstractA 35-year-old woman had infective endocarditis and an aneurysm of the anterior mitral leaflet. The patient was managed conservatively and the mitral valve aneurysm remained stable over 3 years. Two-dimensional, color flow Doppler, and magnetic resonance images of the aneurysm are presented and features of mitral valve aneurysms are discussed. Conservative management of mitral valve aneurysms with careful follow-up is an acceptable approach.
