The article discusses a case of an 11-month-old male infant, who was diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome (KS) with left ventricle (LV) diverticulum (LVD). A computed tomography (CT) of the patient reveals a small lesion on the LV, while a two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography shows LVD near the lesion. A redo median sternotomy with cannulation preparation was performed and the LVD has been removed without complications.
