This case report highlights Uhl's anomaly, a rare condition causing severe right ventricular dilation and dysfunction. Early diagnosis through advanced imaging is crucial for managing this complex cardiac issue.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Pediatric Cardiology
Cardiac Imaging

Background:

Uhl's anomaly is a rare congenital heart condition characterized by the absence of myocardial tissue in the right ventricle.
It often presents in infancy or childhood with symptoms of right heart failure.

Observation:

A 17-year-old male presented with facial puffiness, lower limb swelling, and syncope.
Echocardiography revealed a dilated right atrium and right ventricle with systolic dysfunction and a thinned, trabeculation-devoid right ventricular free wall.
Cardiac MRI confirmed an extremely dilated, thin-walled right ventricle lacking trabeculations and myocardial fat signal.

Findings:

The imaging findings were consistent with Uhl's anomaly, differentiating it from arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia.

Keywords:

Adolescent Heart atria Heart defects Heart ventricles Myocardium Tricuspid valve congenital

The case demonstrates the utility of advanced cardiac imaging in diagnosing rare congenital heart conditions.

Implications:

Accurate diagnosis of Uhl's anomaly is crucial for appropriate management and prognosis.
This case underscores the importance of considering rare cardiac pathologies in adolescent patients with heart failure symptoms.
