Abstract


Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome is a cardiac anomaly which is seen rare. It is usually accompanied by persistent left superior vena cava. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography plays a significant role in the diagnosis of congenital cardiac anomalies. Nowadays, the frequency of cardiac anomalies began to increase with  the increased usage of multi-slice computed tomography in the investigation of coronary artery disease. In our case,  a patient with unroofed  coronary sinus who was diagnosed with multi-slice computed tomography is presented.

Key Words: Unroofed Coronary Sinus; Persistent Left Superior Vena Cava; Multi-Slice Computed Tomography.
