Myocardial crypts were initially described in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Modern diagnostic data show that this structural abnormality can be found in patients with other diseases, or might represent the variant of normal heart development in healthy individuals. The prognostic significance of this finding is uncertain. In this publication we present a clinical case of the combination of myocardial crypt and Barlows syndrome.
Keywords: Barlows syndrome; FLNA gene; intramyocardial structure; myocardial crypt (cleft).
