A congenital cardiac condition characterized by ventricular trabeculations and intertrabecular recesses is described as a non-compaction cardiomyopathy. In clinical practice, since it can be associated with severe mortality and morbidity due to progressive heart failure, thromboembolic events, and fatal arrhythmias, it is important to consider non-compaction cardiomyopathy. In this case, we have an adult patient who underwent surgery due to a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and who was later diagnosed with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) and pre-excitation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of VSD, LVNC, and pre-excitation simultaneously present in an adult patient.

The clinical features and postmortem findings have been analyzed in nine infants who had a ventricular septal defect and died in heart failure. Possible explanations for the severity of the manifestations of this simple and common defect were considered. The differential diagnosis from other conditions associated during infancy with cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion was discussed. It is hoped that an awareness of the serious consequences of this malformation in certain patients and the ability to diagnose it accurately will be forerunners of successful surgery to correct the defect.

We describe an infant presenting with contractures of the fingers, a large ventricular septal defect (VSD), and severe pulmonary artery dilatation. He had clinical and echocardiographic features of both neonatal or infantile Marfan syndrome (MFS) and congenital contractural arachnodactyly. After surgical VSD closure, the aortic root developed progressive dilatation while the size of pulmonary artery returned to normal limits. Eventually the diagnosis of MFS was confirmed by DNA analysis.
