Abstract

 Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk also known as Garland­ landWhite syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly. The usual clinical course is severe left sided heart failure and mitral valve insufficiency presenting during the first months of life. However, in some cases collateral blood supply from the right coronary artery is sufficient and symptoms may be subtle or even absent. Arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death in adult life may be the first clinical presentation in patients with this anomaly. 

Keywords: Coronary Artery; Pulmonary Trunk; Congenital Anomaly.
