Williams Syndrome and Right Ventricular Noncompaction: A Rare Association
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ventricular noncompaction and Williams syndrome are genetic disorders with typical clinical and echocardiographic cardiovascular manifestations. Here, we describe a young patient with rare association of clinical phenotype suggestive of Williams syndrome and right ventricular noncompaction.

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by the presence of an extremely thickened endocardial layer with prominent trabeculations and deep recesses in communication with ventricular chamber and determining a typical spongeous aspect [1]. Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is thought to be a congenital arrest of endomyocardial embryogenes...
متن کاملA Case With a Unique Association of Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy and Cathecolaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Caused by Ryanodine Receptor Mutation
Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a rare primary cardiomyopathy caused by an arrest in myocardial morphogenesis. The clinical manifestations are highly variable from asymptomatic to severe heart failure, arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, or systemic thrombo-embolic events. Association of NCCM and electric disorders has been reported as rare case reports with WPW syndrome and Brugada syndr...
متن کاملA very rare case of coexistence of ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, myocardial bridging and atherosclerosis
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is a rare congenital heart disease, presumably caused by the intrauterine arrest of the myocardial compaction process at the beginning of fetal development. It could remain asymptomatic or manifest with congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and systemic thromboemboli. Here we report a 55-year-old man who was admitted to hospital with chest pain and d...
متن کاملNoncompaction of ventricular myocardium: a study of twelve patients.
We report 12 patients with ventricular noncompaction who were echocardiographically identified at our institution since 1991. The mean age at presentation was 3.5 years. Five patients had isolated noncompaction. Three of them had subnormal left ventricular systolic function at presentation. Noncompaction was associated with complex congenital heart defect in 3 patients. Four patients had simple...
متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
