# Case Report: Multimodality imaging of a congenital ventricular septal aneurysm complicated by biventricular myocardial non-compaction in a child

## TL;DR

A child was diagnosed with a rare heart condition involving a ventricular septal aneurysm and biventricular myocardial non-compaction using advanced imaging techniques.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare case of congenital ventricular septal aneurysm complicated by biventricular non-compaction in a child.

## Key findings

- Multimodality imaging confirmed the presence of a ventricular septal aneurysm.
- Biventricular myocardial non-compaction was identified alongside the aneurysm.
- Congenital developmental abnormality was considered the most likely cause after excluding other possibilities.

## Abstract

Congenital ventricular aneurysm is a rare malformation affecting all cardiac chambers, and is most frequently observed in the left ventricle. Congenital ventricular aneurysm is characterized by localized bulges in the ventricular wall, typically distinct from the normal myocardium, and it shows akinesia or dyskinesia. Using multimodality imaging, we diagnosed a case of ventricular septal aneurysm complicated by biventricular myocardial non-compaction in a child. After excluding various potential causes, we considered a congenital developmental abnormality as the most likely pathogenic factor.
