Structural cardiac anomalies indicative of primary myocardial maldevelopment are reported
in a newborn girl with congenital heart block. The cardiac findings included disordered
trabeculation of both ventricles with persistent intramyocardial sinusoids, hypoplastic
papillary muscles, and dysplastic atrioventricular valves with partial downward displacement
of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. Dilatation of the ascending aorta and craniofacial
dysmorphism including webbed neck, hypertelorism, and lowset ears raise the possibility of …
