Though early cardiac involvement can be seen with novel mutations, it is extremely rare to find association of ventricular septal defect in infantile Sandhoff disease. Neuroregression typically starts around 6 months of age. We report this case because of the unusual association of a congenital heart disease with underlying infantile Sandhoff disease and symptomatic heart failure in the first month of life with eventual fatal outcome.
