Abstract
INTRODUCTION Uhl’s anomaly is characterized by absence of the right ventricular myocardial layer. Although it appears to be of congenital origin, etiology is still uncertain. Patients usually present with congestive heart failure. Diagnosis is generally suggested by echocardiography. Medication treatment is only palliative, but surgical methods offer etiological cure.
