Abstract
A 3-year-old girl with a continuous murmur on auscultation was found tohave left coronary artery to right atrial fistula simulating cortriatriatum sinister on echocardiography. Coronary angiography of thepatient was also insufficient to clarify the exact pathologic anatomy.Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the main drainage of the aneurysmalcoronary artery was to the left superior vena cava, resulting in a diffusearteriovenous fistula in the lower lobe of the left lung by compressing itspulmonary vein.Keywords
