This is a report of 160 cases of mitral stenosis below the age of 20 years who underwent mitral commissurotomy. Clinical, radiologic and electrocardiographic findings and other data were presented. The outstanding features of this study are preponderance among boys, short duration of symptoms, high degree of incapacity, rapid development of severe pulmonary hypertension, low incidence of embolism and fibrillation. The results of mitral commissurotomy in these young patients have been gratifying with low mortality and low incidence of restenosis.
