ABSTRACT:Mitral valve prolapse has been associated with an increased risk of transient or lasting ischemic events. Recurrence is uncommon after initiation of antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy. In this communication we report two patients, both female, who had mitral valve prolapse as the major risk factor for cerebrovascular disease and who developed cerebral infarction despite anticoagulation. The cerebral infarctions were bilateral and extensive in one patient and led to the patient's death. In the second case, three infarctions resulted in moderate disability.
