Abstract :Anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery from the opposite sinus of Valsalva (AAOCA) is an established risk factor for sudden cardiac death, particularly in young adults. In this paper, we present a case of 41-years-old male patient with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (ARCA) from left sinus of Valsalva. Recent developments in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technology have effectively decreased the duration of imaging, the amount of contrast media required, and the level of radiation exposure. MDCT can serve as an initial radiological technique for diagnosing coronary anomalies like ARCA.
