  • Title: Retinal vascular lesions in two patients with prolapsed mitral valve leaflets.
    Author: Woldoff HS, Gerber M, Desser KB, Benchimol A.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1975 Mar; 79(3):382-5. PubMed ID: 1121995.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with retinal vascular lesions had mid-late systolic clicks on cardiac auscultation, suggesting the diagnosis of prolapsed mitral valve. The first patient demonstrated an inferonasal arteriolar branch occlusion secondary to embolization; the second patient had a central vein occlusion with multiple hemorrhages, glial proliferative tissue, and retinal neovascularization. This report describes the association between the prolapsed mitral valve syndrome and retinal vascular lesions.
