چکیده

A nomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the pulmonary trunk (PT) is rare, with an expected incidence of 0.002%. Numerous modalities are available to aid in establishing the diagnosis, including echocardiography, digital subtraction angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA). We describe a case of anomalous origin of the RCA in a 14-year-old girl, which was diagnosed with electrocardiographically gated CTCA.
