摘要：
This is a case report of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery, which arises from the left sinus of Valsalva depicted with multi-detector row tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography performed in emergency. In symptomatic patient, this anomalous origin is considered a malignant anomaly and needs urgent surgical treatment. Some studies demonstrated that MDCT is a reliable non-invasive technique to identify and define anomalous coronary arteries (ACAs) and their course. © 2007 Am Soc Emergency Radiol.
