True cleft of anterior mitral leaflet – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/250037637

A congenital cardiac malformation of the mitral valve in which the anterior leaflet is divided into two parts. Additional information: this term should not be used for the so-called 'mitral cleft' of a common atrioventricular valve, as this is the zone of apposition between the superior and inferior bridging leaflets, and not a divided valve leaflet.
