Key result
Transthoracic echocardiography successfully diagnosed a rare case of ventricular myocardial noncompaction involving both the right and left ventricles in a Turkish patient.

Transthoracic echocardiography is a useful clinical tool for diagnosing rare cases of biventricular noncompaction.
May aid TTE diagnosis of biventricular noncompaction; leaves open generalizability and need for validation.
AIM: We aimed to present a case with ventricular myocardial noncompaction involving both ventricles. METHODS AND RESULTS: Noncompaction of ventricle is a rare and unclassified congenital cardiac malformation is due to an arrest in intrauterine endomyocardial morphogenesis. We presented a ventricular myocardial noncompaction case involving both left and right ventricles. The physical examination of this case is consistent with mitral regurgitation and the echocardiographic findings are consistent with noncompaction of ventricular myocardium involving both ventricles with left ventricular systolic failure. CONCLUSION: Transthoracic echocardiography is a useful clinical tool for diagnosing noncompaction of both the right and left ventricular myocardium. The LVNC definition can also be utilized for RVNC, which this diagnosis has never been reported in a Turkish patient.

Ulusoy et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Ventricular myocardial noncompaction involving both ventricles (n=1). Transthoracic echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis of noncompaction of both right and left ventricular myocardium. Transthoracic echocardiography successfully diagnosed a rare case of ventricular myocardial noncompaction involving both the right and left ventricles in a Turkish patient.
