Observation: Herein, we present a case with reversal of valves where the mitral annulus had 3 instead of the usual 2 cusps and vice versa on the right side. The left ventricle was dissected as per Cunningham’s dissector, the 3 cusps were attached via. chordae tendinae to 3 papillary muscles whereas the right ventricle was seen to have 2 papillary muscles...
