Background:
The noncompaction of myocardium is a rare myocardiopathy. The isolated right ventricular involvement is exceptional. We report two cases of isolated noncompaction of the right ventricular myocardium. CASE 1: I., 2 years old, investigated for a congenital cyanosis with severe functional repercussion. Her echocardiography revealed a complex congenital heart disease associated with isolate noncompaction of the right ventricle. CASE 2: A., 5 years old, was referred for history of syncope for the 2 last years. The echocardiography showed a severe pulmonary hypertension and an isolate noncompaction of the right ventricle.
Conclusion:
Due to the rarity of the isolate non-compaction of the right ventricle, it diagnosis remains difficult. The treatment and the outcomes of this disease are still unclear. An early diagnosis may help to reduce its complication.
