A 22‐day‐old boy born to a 21‐year‐old gravida 1, para 1 mother was admitted to our hospital for routine newborn examination. On physical examination, any clinical abnormality or malformations were not observed except 1/6 systolic murmur. A well‐demarcated membranous structure was confirmed by echocardiography which was starting from left ventricular apex, extending to the mitral chords including papillary muscles in apical four‐chamber and parasternal long‐axis examination. This structure was considered as a variant of left ventricular noncompaction. The patient is still being followed up in our pediatric cardiology department.
