Abstract
Anomalous origin of coronary artery from pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is an infrequent, well described, but important anomaly of coronary origin. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment of the disease can be life saving. However, there are potential sources of error in the seemingly simple stereotype diagnosis. We report a case of ALCAPA and allude to some of the caveats in the diagnosis of this entity.
