Cryptogenic stroke due to left ventricular Non-compaction

Abstract

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy which may be asymptomatic or present as congestive cardiac failure (CCF), arrhythmia or cardio-embolic stroke. This condition is increasingly being reported with improvement in cardiac imaging techniques. We present 2 children with LVNC who presented with CCF and stroke.
