2D echocardiography is effective for the detection and evaluation of cardiac rhabdomyomas and associated outflow tract obstruction in neonates.

This case report explores an incidental finding of multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas and obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, detected by 2D echocardiography.
