Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a complex, exceedingly rare form of cardiomyopathy. Transient ischemic attack/stroke in NCCM may be cardioembolic or atherosclerotic in origin. While the connection between NCCM and neuromuscular conditions has been documented before, its association with neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis has not been established. Here, we present a case of a 45-year-old female with multiple sclerosis (MS) who presented in the context of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) and was found to have non-compaction cardiomyopathy complicated by thromboembolism. To our knowledge, this is the third reported case of NCCM with MS.
非致密化型心肌病(NCCM)是一种复杂且极为罕见的心肌病形式。NCCM患者发生的短暂性脑缺血发作/中风可能源于心源性栓塞或动脉粥样硬化。虽然此前已有文献记载NCCM与神经肌肉疾病之间的关联,但其与诸如多发性硬化症等神经系统疾病的关联尚未确立。在此,我们报告一例45岁患有多发性硬化症(MS)的女性病例,该患者因短暂性脑缺血发作(TIA)就诊,被发现患有合并血栓栓塞的非致密化型心肌病。据我们所知,这是第三例报告的NCCM合并MS的病例。
