Uhl anomaly

Uhl anomaly
Other names: Parchment right ventricle[1]
Uhl anomaly is inherited via autosomal dominant manner

The Uhl anomaly is a partial or total loss of the myocardial muscle in the right ventricle. A congenital heart disease, it is very rare: fewer than 100 cases in 1900–1993.

Three findings are enlarged right ventricular cavity without apical trabeculation with a thin hypokinetic ventricular wall.[2]

It was first described in 1952 by Dr. Henry Uhl (1921–2009) upon examining one of his patients.[3]
