Abstract

Left-ventricular non-compaction is a rare congenital disorder and its association with myocardial infarction is rarely described in literature. We report the case of a patient in whom the diagnosis was established after multiple convulsive crisis. The resemblance of certain consequences of these two pathologies reports the difficulty of the diagnosis of imputability and all the specificity of this observation.
