Multimodality Imaging and Clinical Significance of Congenital Ventricular Outpouchings: Recesses, Diverticula, Aneurysms, Clefts, and Crypts.

Although crypts may be significant findings in a familial context with a high pretest probability of HCM, their clinical significance is doubtful when isolated findings in asymptomatic patients, probably representing, in these cases, only incidental variants of local myocardial structure.[ 24 29 30 31 ] According to Erol et al .,[ 1 ] we believe that all these fissure-like lesions, sometimes called recesses, crypts or clefts are the same entity and maybe only the term crypts should be used to avoid confounding terminology but, again, an agreement is warranted.
