Abstract
Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy is a rare disease which occurs predominantly in the first two years of life, with a female preponderance. We report the cases of two girls (11 and 15-month-old) which were respectively referred to our institution for ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation without prodroma. Etiologic findings only showed mild cardiomyopathy. Autopsy and histologic examination led to the diagnosis of histiocytoid cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, in the first observation, agenesis of the corpus callosum was found.
