Insights
This case study highlights an adult male diagnosed with incomplete Shone syndrome, a rare congenital heart defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple left-sided heart obstructions, emphasizing the importance of diagnosis in adults.

Abstract:
Shone syndrome is a rare and complex congenital heart disease. It is characterized in its complete form, by a constellation of the four potentially obstructive lesions of the left heart side. Incomplete Shone's complex includes 2 or 3 of the characteristic lesions which, include a supravalvular mitral membrane, valvular mitral stenosis (MS) by a parachute mitral valve (PMV), subaortic stenosis and aortic coarctation (Coa). We describe here, the case of a 35-year-old man, hospitalized for chronic dyspnea and in whom, the diagnosis of incomplete Shone's complex is retained by echocardiographic analysis. Observed lesions include a parachute mitral valve responsible for mild regurgitation and moderate mitral stenosis, bicuspid aortic valve, and pseudo interruption of the aorta with dilatation of the ascending aorta and a patent ductus arteriosus. This case is the 2nd on 3942 patients in Drighil congenital heart disease registry.
