We report a case with perforated mitral valve aneurysm in the anterior leaflet associated with lateral scallop prolapse. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed an apparent prolapse of the lateral segment of the mitral leaflet with mitral regurgitation and a perforated aneurysm in the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. In this patient, an eccentric regurgitant jet toward the anterior leaflet due to lateral scallop prolapse caused structural weakening and then the aneurysm in the anterior leaflet.
