Abstract
Mitral valve prolapse has been associated with several connective tissue and developmental disorders, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan's disease; pseudo-xanthoma elasticum, myotonic dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve and atrial septal defect of the ostium secundum variety. Presented here is a case of mitral valve prolapse in a patient with epidermolysis bullosa. The author is unaware of any previously reported cases of this association.
