Abstract

A case of a 3-month-old male infant with myocardial infarction due to left coronary ostial stenosis is presented. Clinically it was quite similar to anomalous origin of the left coronary artery. Aortogram demonstrated hypoplastic left coronary artery. Postmortem examination revealed quite narrow left coronary ostium and myocardial infarction with aneurysm of the left ventricular apex.
