Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are rare congenital cardiac pathologies, representing 0.3 to 1.6% of congenital cardiac anomalies and are often associated with the cause of sudden death in the young individuals. Coronary artery anomalies consist of a wide range of abnormalities, including anomalous origin, anomalous course or both. In this report, we present a pediatric case of anomalous origin of the left main coronary artery from the right cusp with an interarterial course between the aorta and pulmonary artery.
