Key result
Rare case identifies isolated LV apical hypoplasia combined with infundibular pulmonary and aortic stenosis.
Why the study?
Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly typically not accompanied by other cardiac abnormalities, with very few reported exceptions.
Case Report (n=1)
Recognizing this rare triad on MRI may aid diagnosis; extends sparse reports of concurrent left ventricular apical hypoplasia.
Isolated left ventricular (LV) apical hypoplasia is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly which is not accompanied by other cardiac abnormalities, with the exception of two cases. We report a case of a 33-year-old male patient with isolated LV apical hypoplasia combined with infundibular pulmonary stenosis and aortic stenosis. We review a literature focusing on the characteristic magnetic resonance features and combined cardiac abnormalities.

Jeong et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia (n=1). Isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia was evaluated. A 33-year-old male was found to have a rare combination of isolated left ventricular apical hypoplasia, infundibular pulmonary stenosis, and aortic stenosis.
