Duplication of an atrioventricular valve is a rare congenital anomaly that usually involves the mitral rather than the tricuspid valve ( TV ). Isolated appearances of a double‐orifice TV ( DOTV ) are extremely rare and in most cases are associated with other congenital anomalies. We report a rare case of an HIV ‐seropositive male with a DOTV , divided right atrium and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome admitted to our hospital with palpitations and dyspnea. After medical therapy, the patient's symptoms were alleviated. We summarized the characteristics of the DOTV and reviewed the literature.
