Abstract
An. athletic 15-year-old girl with aberrant left coronary artery from the r ight coronary sinus, presented with syncope during exercise. Transthoracic echocardiography was the only imaging technique that clearly demonstrated h er anomaly. The results of magnetic resonance and selective coronary angiog raphic imaging were inconclusive. Surgical intervention was successfully pe rformed on the basis of the echocardiographic diagnosis.
