Fabry's disease is a rare but important cause of structural cardiac disease that may influence cardiac surgical decision making. Herein we present a case of mitral valve repair in a patient with Fabry's disease and review the cardiac‐related literature on this lysosomal storage disease. (J Card Surg 2012;27:478‐480)
