Overview
Uhl anomaly is a very rare congenital heart disease with a partial or total loss of the myocardial muscle in the right ventricle.
Pathophysiology
There is a total loss of myocardial muscle in the right ventricle. It represents a severe from of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Less than 100 cases have been reported between 1900–1993.
Historical Perspective
Uhl anomaly was first described in 1952.[1]
Diagnosis
Fetal echocardiographic findings
Three findings are enlarged right ventricular cavity without apical trabeculation with a thin hypokinetic ventricular wall.[2]
