Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a very rare cardiac defect in which the right ventricle is divided by anomalous muscle bundle into two chambers. It is associated with other malformations in 80-90% of cases. Clinical presentation varies and depends on the extent of the intraventricular obstruction. We here report the case of a 16-year old teenager with isolated DCRV revealed by recurrent syncopes. The diagnosis was made using Doppler echocardiography. The patient underwent successful surgical resection of the abnormal muscle band.
双腔右心室(DCRV)是一种非常罕见的心脏缺陷,其中右心室被异常肌束分隔为两个腔室。80%至90%的病例与其他畸形有关。临床表现各异,取决于心室内梗阻的程度。我们在此报告一例16岁青少年因反复晕厥发现孤立性双腔右心室的病例。诊断通过多普勒超声心动图做出。患者成功接受了异常肌束的手术切除。
