Primary hyperoxaluria is a rare hereditary metabolic disorder resulting in accumulation of calcium oxalate in visceral organs, including the heart. We report a 19-year-old male with non- compaction cardiomyopathy combined with patent ductus arteriosus awaiting combined liver-kidney transplantation for primary hyperoxaluria. After surgical closure of the patent ductus arteriosus, the patient underwent a successful renal and subsequent liver transplantation. The presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in hyperoxaluria patients has been reported before, but this is the first report of non-compaction myocardium with patent ductus arteriosus in a patient with primary hyperoxaluria. At the third month after combined liver and renal transplantation, improvement in cardiac functions were observed. Primary hyperoxaluria is a clinical entity to be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of hypertrophied myocardium with high myocardial echocardiographic intensity. In cases of hyperoxaluria, additional congenital abnormalities may complicate the clinical picture.
