AbstractThis study is a case report, which presents a case of severe mitral regurgitation in a 77-year-old man. Two-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), regurgitant jets directed anteriorly in early systole and centrally to laterally in late systole were seen, while three-dimensional TEE showed a flail posterior middle scallop not only angulated centrally, but also laterally, which provided insight into the mechanism of mitral regurgitant jet direction. This case demonstrates the clinical usefulness of 3-dimensional TEE for identifying the mechanism of mitral regurgitant jets.The institution where the figures and the videos were recorded: Division of Cardiology, Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute, University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Encephaloceles are considered neural tube defects, but their exact cause is unknown. The outcome is dismal, and essential management and counseling are needed for patients. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional sonography can be used to detect encephaloceles as early as 11 weeks, assist in treatment planning, and improve patient care. This case report presents an occipital encephalocele diagnosed by sonography and followed until delivery.
