Abstract :Noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a rare type of cardiomyopathy that can result in left ventricular failure, thromboembolic events, tachyarrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. It is a congenital cardiomyopathy in which deep trabeculations and cavities in the left ventricle are formed due to the cessation of the development of myocardial tissue in the intrauterine period. Ebstein\'s anomaly is a congenital anomaly characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve septal leaflet. Although the association of noncompaction cardiomyopathy and ebstein is a rare disease, there are cases described in the literature. A 23-year-old male patient, who presented with palpitations and fatigue, was diagnosed with noncompaction cardiomyopathy and ebstein anomaly. After the diagnosis, the patient is followed closely without complications with appropriate medical follow-up. Congenital heart diseases can be seen alone or in association with other cardiac malformations. When there are suspicious findings in a patient with ebstein\'s anomaly, it may be associated with noncompaction cardiomyopathy, and screening with echocardiographic and cardiac MRI should be considered.Keywords : noncompaction cardiomyopathy, Ebstein anomaly, congenital heart diseases
