We describe a rare case of multiple myocardial crypts with atypical septal localization, evaluated with multimodality imaging. Although myocardial crypts seem to be more prevalent in hypertensive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, they are also occasionally found in apparently normal patients. Their clinical significance remains poorly understood.
