Sotos Syndrome, Isolated Left Ventricular Non Compaction Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Pre Excitation: A Case Report.
Journal Title: Journal of Hypertension and Cardiology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
We report the case of a 22 year-old-male patient affected by Sotos syndrome was preoperatively and urgently evaluated for tracheal stent implantation due to respiratory insufficiency caused by idiopathic tracheal stenosis. Rest electrocardiogram detected a ventricular pre excitation; a transthoracic echocardiography showed a classic pattern fulfilling criteria for isolated left ventricular non compaction. At the best of our knowledge this is the first report of a patient suffering from Sotos syndrome and simultaneously affected by isolated left ventricular non compaction and ventricular pre excitation.
