Multi-slice computed tomography of the anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in a young child

Computed tomography images including maximum intensity projection, curved reconstruction, and volume rendering show the left main coronary artery, which originated from the posterior aspect of the main pulmonary artery along with left anterior descending (Fig 1), and an enlarged tortuous right coron...

More Information
Summary:Computed tomography images including maximum intensity projection, curved reconstruction, and volume rendering show the left main coronary artery, which originated from the posterior aspect of the main pulmonary artery along with left anterior descending (Fig 1), and an enlarged tortuous right coronary artery, which originated from the right coronary sinus of the aortic root (Fig 2a and b), in keeping with the anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery.Figure 1 Computed tomography angiogram demonstrates a left main coronary artery that originated from the posterior aspect of the main pulmonary artery along with left anterior descending (white arrow).
