    Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is linked to several neurological issues. This study reports a case of retinal infarction, a type of stroke affecting the eye, occurring with MVP.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology

    Background:

    • Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a cardiac condition linked to various neurological syndromes.
    • Potential mechanisms include embolic events originating from the heart.

    Observation:

    • A case of retinal infarction, a vision-threatening event, is presented.
    • The patient had a confirmed diagnosis of mitral valve prolapse.

    Findings:

    • This case highlights a specific association between mitral valve prolapse and retinal infarction.
    • It supports the hypothesis that embolic phenomena may play a role in neurological complications of MVP.

    Implications:

    • Further investigation into embolic risk stratification in MVP patients is warranted.

  • Ophthalmologists and neurologists should consider MVP in the differential diagnosis of retinal infarction.
