Özet
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital anomaly and one of the causes of myocardial ischemia. It often presents with atypical signs and symptoms, especially in childhood. In this case report, an 11-year-old girl presented with dilated cardiomyopathy in our clinic and was followed for five years. Echocardiography showed multiple left-to-right shunts on the interventricular septum, the confirmation of which was done by multi-slice computed tomography and coronary angiography. Therefore, we suggest that ALCAPA should be suspected in young patients diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy. © 2013 Turkish Society of Cardiology.
