[Echocardiographic findings in the papyraceous right ventricle syndrome]

The echocardiographic findings in a young man with a "paper-thin right ventricle" or Uhl's anomaly are reported. The usual signs of right ventricular diastolic overload with slight delay in tricuspid valve closure were observed. The discordance between the normal clinical examination and the pathological appearances on echocardiography led to cardiac catheterisation which established the diagnosis.
