Archivos Argentinos de Pediatría 2018 Februrary 2
Isolated anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery is a rare congenital anomaly, and few cases have been reported in the pediatric age group. Here in, we report an asymptomatic case of a 2-month-old male infant who has been diagnosed as anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the main pulmonary artery during the evaluation for cardiac abnormalities.

The patient underwent surgery and did well after two months follow up. Early diagnosis may prevent patients from cardiovascular complications.
