Tiger stripes sign is the high amplitude band-like
signal noted on Doppler spectral recordings of valvular
regurgitation. This is noted most often in patients with
porcine mitral prosthetic valves and may be indicative of
flail prosthetic leaflet. We herein describe a patient with
tiger stripes signin a severe mitral regurgitation on
native valve associated with Ostium secundum atrial
septal Defect (ASD).
Case summary
A 41-year-old woman hospitalized for progressively
worsening exertional dyspnea NYHA (New York Heart
Association) class III associated with chest pain evolving
for the past 3 years. The patient’s medical history
includes Grave’s disease. Clinical examination revealeda
grade 5/6 blowing holosystolic murmur at the apex and a
grade 4/6 blowing murmur at the tricuspid area.ECG
showed trial Fibrillation. Echocardiography showed the
presence of severe mitral regurgitation Figure 1: (A),
severe tricuspid regurgitation and secundum atrial
septal defect with 10 mm diameter. Doppler showed the
appearance of tiger stripes sign in continuous-wave
doppler (CW) and in pulsed-wave doppler (PW) on the
mitral valve. Figure 1: (B,C).
