Abstract
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a myocardial disorder probably due to the arrest of normal embryogenesis of the left
ventricle. It could be isolated or associated with other extracardiac and cardiac abnormalities, including coronary artery anomalies.
Despite the continuous improvement of imaging resolution quality, this cardiomyopathy still remains frequently misdiagnosed,
especially if associated with other heart diseases. We report a case of LVNC association with both malposition of the great arteries
and a very original coronary artery pattern.
