Congenital anomalies of the coronary arteries are rare. In this article, we reported a case of 6-month-old female who was brought with breathing difficulty and poor weight gain. Echocardiography was done which showed dextrocardia and truncus arteriosus. A cardiac computed tomography confirmed these findings and additionally revealed that the coronary arteries originated from a common vascular channel from the brachiocephalic artery. This is a very rare occurrence. To our knowledge, only a few such cases have been reported in the literature.
先天性冠状动脉异常较为罕见。在本文中,我们报告了一例6个月大的女性患儿,因呼吸困难和体重增加缓慢前来就诊。超声心动图检查显示右位心和共同动脉干。心脏计算机断层扫描证实了这些发现,并进一步显示冠状动脉起源于头臂动脉的一个共同血管通道。这是一种非常罕见的情况。据我们所知,文献中仅报道过少数此类病例。
