Abstract: | Detailed post-mortem is crucial in infants who die suddenly and without a known cause. We report a rare case of histiocytoid cardiomyopathy with endocardial fibroelastosis, the second case in the world literature. The infant presented with sudden death, but the cardiac histological appearance was initially believed to be caused by Pompes disease. |
