The chance finding of an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva in an 11-year-old child with a ventricular septal defect and a pericardial effusion

Rare combination of left ventricular noncompaction, bicuspid aortic valve and myocardial bridging. Rare case or common genetic mutations?

“…In most cases, noncompaction is an isolated disease confined to the left ventricular myocardium, characterized by prominent trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. It may be present also in various types of congenital heart diseases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].We present the case of a 36-year-old man, who came under our observation for stable angina pectoris. He has a history of severe arterial hypertension controlled pharmacologically and a known aortic bicuspid valve with normal flow.…”
