Parachute tricuspid valve unique case and the first case in Somalia.

Atrioventricular valve parachute deformity is rare and is generally seen in the mitral position, called the parachute mitral valve. It is rare to see it in the tricuspid valve and up to now, there have been approximately 14 cases of parachute abnormalities in tricuspid valves in a literature review. We present here a 21-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with progressive shortness of breath over several months. Despite the absence of chest pain, palpitations, or weight changes, examination revealed a soft, holosystolic murmur at the left lower sternal border. Further investigation through electrocardiogram and echocardiogram identified a rare structural abnormality known as parachute tricuspid valve, resulting in significant tricuspid regurgitation with mild right chamber enlargement. The patient was recommended to go abroad for further management since a cardiothoracic surgeon is not available in our country.
