Isolated double chambered right ventricle as a rare cause of sudden death in infancy

Isolated double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare form of congenital heart disorder in which the right ventricle is divided into a high-pressure inlet portion and a low-pressure outlet portion by an anomalous muscle bundle. Rarely, autopsy cases describing this congenital heart disease have...

Rarely, autopsy cases describing this congenital heart disease have been reported in the world literature. We report the case of a 50-day-old male who died seven days after been suffering from fever and dyspnea. The autopsy revealed essentially an isolated double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) and an important pulmonary edema. In this paper, we present the first reported case of sudden unanticipated death in infancy due to isolated double-chambered right ventricle.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2090536X16300090Sudden deathCongenital heart diseaseDouble chambered right ventricleAutopsy
