    This study reports the first case of left ventricular myocardial noncompaction with Brucella endocarditis affecting the aortic and mitral valves. The patient successfully received both medical and surgical treatment for this rare combination.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Left ventricular myocardial noncompaction is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy often leading to heart failure, thromboembolism, and arrhythmias.
    • Concomitant valvular pathologies or infective endocarditis are seldom reported with noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of left ventricular myocardial noncompaction presenting with Brucella endocarditis involving both aortic and mitral valves is described.
    • This represents the first reported instance of this specific combined cardiac pathology.

    Findings:

    • The patient with noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium and Brucella endocarditis underwent successful medical and surgical management.
    • This case highlights the possibility of rare co-occurrences in complex cardiac conditions.

    Implications:

    • This case broadens the understanding of potential complications associated with left ventricular myocardial noncompaction.
    • It underscores the importance of considering diverse pathologies, including infective endocarditis, in patients with congenital cardiomyopathies.
    • Successful treatment strategies for such rare combined conditions can be established.
