Echo and CMR successfully diagnose Uhl's anomaly as a rare cause of infant cardiomegaly.
Case Report (n=1)
Echocardiography and cardiac MRI are beneficial in diagnosing Uhl's anomaly, a rare cause of cardiomegaly in infants.
Multimodal imaging aids Uhl’s anomaly diagnosis in infants with cardiomegaly; extends sparse Level 5 reports but leaves management questions open.
Objective – Uhl’s anomaly, a very rare anomaly with unknown aetiology, is characterized by congenital hypoplasia of the right ventricular myocardium. In this paper, we aim to discuss the clinical findings and the imagining methods. Case report – A six-month-old case was referred us for cardiomegaly. Echocardiography showed a hugely dilated and diffuse hypokinetic right ventricle, magnetic resonance images and cardiac catheterization proved the diagnosis of Uhl’s anomaly. Conclusion – Uhl’s anomaly is a rare cause of cardiomegaly, and echocardiography and cardiac MR images are beneficial in the diagnostic process of this anomaly.

Ulaş Karadaş (2014) conducted a case report in Uhl's anomaly (Cardiomegaly) (n=1). Diagnostic imaging (Echocardiography and MRI) was evaluated on Diagnosis and clinical course of Uhl's anomaly. Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging successfully diagnosed Uhl's anomaly, a rare cause of cardiomegaly, in a six-month-old female infant.
