Anomalies of coronary number and course represent an opinion-dividing topic in cardiopathology, particularly for their relationship with sudden cardiac death.To the best of our knowledge, we herein report the first fatal case of a young female whose coronary anatomy was characterised by the absence of any septal perforator branch in the proximal segment of the LAD.This case could be useful for pathologists, coronary angiographers, and interventional cardiologists in detecting this infrequent anomaly, thus providing a more accurate estimation of its incidence.

冠状动脉数量和走行的异常在心脏病学中是一个存在分歧的话题，特别是它们与心源性猝死的关系。据我们所知，我们在此报告首例年轻女性的致命病例，其冠状动脉解剖学特征为左前降支近段无任何间隔穿支分支。该病例有助于病理学家、冠状动脉造影术医生和介入心脏病学家检测这种罕见的异常，从而更准确地估计其发生率。
