Abstract
An infant with anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk presented with congestive cardiomyopathy. Only cross sectional echocardiography gave a definitive diagnosis. The results of cardiac catheterisation and angiography were inconclusive. Surgical repair was performed successfully after the results of cross sectional echocardiography were known.Keywords
