Cardiac MR imaging in Pompe disease

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1986 Sep-Oct;10(5):857-9. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198609000-00030.

Abstract

The magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings in a 5-month-old infant with glycogen storage disease of the heart revealed hypertrophy of the right and left ventricles and the interventricular septum with an irregular inhomogeneous appearance of the myocardium. The descriptive features of the MR study are correlated with cardiac angiography and echocardiography in Pompe disease.
