Abstract
Myocardial noncompaction is characterized by prominent
trabeculations, deep intertrabecular recesses, and a thick noncompacted endocardial myocardium. Its prevalence in the general population is still unclear, but echocardiography series report a prevalence rate of 0.05% (1). The coexistence of coronary
anomaly and myocardial compaction is extremely rare (2). To the
best of our knowledge, intramyocardial rupture of an isolated
septal coronary artery was first defined in a patient with myocardial noncompaction and concurrent coronary anomalies
