Mini‐Abstract A 22‐year‐old male patient was admitted to our hospital cardiology service suffering from dyspnea on exertion. Real time two‐ and three‐dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed a mild regurgitant bicuspid aortic valve, a spongy appearance of the left ventricular wall and hypoplasia of the distal part of aortic arch. Left ventricular noncompaction was seen in his contrast enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ). Interruption at the level of distal aortic arch and hypoplasia of the descending thoracic aorta was seen in his computerized tomography angiography.
