Danon disease presenting with atypical non-septal sparing LGE on cardiac MRI: a case report

This case demonstrates that Danon disease can manifest in young patients with a specific CMR pattern-even in the absence of classic structural changes such as left ventricular hypertrophy. Therefore, clinicians should include Danon disease in the differential diagnosis for paediatric patients presenting with a combination of unexplained elevated biomarkers, electrical abnormalities, and distinctive LGE. Early genetic testing is critical in such scenarios to confirm or exclude the diagnosis.

Abstract

This case demonstrates that Danon disease can manifest in young patients with a specific CMR pattern-even in the absence of classic structural changes such as left ventricular hypertrophy. Therefore, clinicians should include Danon disease in the differential diagnosis for paediatric patients presenting with a combination of unexplained elevated biomarkers, electrical abnormalities, and distinctive LGE. Early genetic testing is critical in such scenarios to confirm or exclude the diagnosis.
