Abstract

A woman complaining of dyspnea and chest pain since childhood, was referred to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Multimodality imaging evaluation revealed massive right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and severe RV outflow tract obstruction, with a final diagnosis of double chambered RV associated with small ventricular septal defect with right-to-left shunt and right partial anomalous pulmonary vein return. This represents an uncommon combination of congenital abnormalities, extremely rarely diagnosed in adulthood.
