An anomalous muscle band (AMB) divides the right ventricle into two cavities, the proximal high-pressure chamber and distal low-pressure chamber. Its origin is debated. Most cases are diagnosed and treated during childhood. Furthermore, there is tendency for progression, if not treated. Echocardiography is considered useful for diagnosis. 80-90% patients have associated congenital anomalies, such as ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, and subaortic stenosis. Isolated DCRV is exceptionally rare. Hence, we report a case of an isolated DCRV adult patient who was asymptomatic.

It is frequently asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiological imaging and it most commonly manifests as pericardium and myocardium infiltration We report the case of a 66-year-old woman patient, admitted for diffuse bone pain, asthenia and a left arm weakness who presented and infiltration of the aorta with a coated aspect, a thickened right atrium and a small pericardial effusion.

It typically presents with chest pain, which can be accompanied by transient electrocardiographic changes, if visualized during the attack. It can also rarely present with severe manifestations of acute myocardial angina, ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation or cardiac arrest. We report the case of a 25-year-old male patient, with cannabis smoking habit, admitted for palpitations which had revealed a VT in the electrocardiogram (ECG), and for whom a coronary angiography was realised showing a coronary artery spasm (CAS) with no sign of atherosclerotic occlusion.
