Medical Definition of Parachute deformity

1. Congenital deformity of the mitral valve characterised by the presence of a single papillary muscle from which the chordae of both valve leaflets divide; thus the resemblance to a parachute; the condition often produces a stenosis as the combined result of the tugging action of the chordae on and the subsequent narrowing between the leaflets. Synonym: parachute deformity. (05 Mar 2000)
