We report on a patient with ankylosing spondylitis in association with mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and aortic regurgitation. Despite extensive search of literature, we could not find association of mitral stenosis with ankylosing spondylitis. This report is the first to describe this association. Our findings are based on clinical and echocardiographic findings. (ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Volume 20, April 2003)
