Introduction: The common mechanism to the syncope is a transient alteration in cerebral blood flux, this fact generate a temporary decrease in the brain metabolism with involvement of the ascending reticular system and cerebral cortex. The syncope due to mitral stenosis does not appear in the reviewed literature. Objectives: To show a clinical case from a patient with mitral stenosis that debuts with recurrent syncope. Clinical case: A 45-year-old patient, mestizo without history of disease, a farmer, is admitted to the internal medicine ward for recurrent syncope. He was evaluated by a neurologist and a cardiologist; he was diagnosed with critical mitral stenosis with severe pulmonary hypertension and a right ventricular Systo-diastolic dysfunction. After the mitral valve replacement by cardiovascular surgery, he did not suffer syncopal episodes again and leads a normal biopsychosocial ...
