Anomalous Right Coronary Artery in a Cyanotic Two-Month Old Infant

Abstract

Cyanosis is relatively common in infants and may suggest a cardiovascular or respiratory cause. Of the cardiovascular causes, cyanosis is not typically associated with anomalous origin of a coronary artery. Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare and often discovered incidentally on transthoracic echocardiography. We describe a cyanotic infant with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery that was identified on transthoracic echocardiography.
