Anomalous origin of the left anterior descending coronary (LAD) from the pulmonary trunk is a rare lesion. We describe a neonate with anomalous origin of the LAD from the pulmonary artery and the circumflex artery arising normally from the left-facing sinus. The finding of a tortuous and dilated posterior descending coronary artery suggested increased intercoronary collateral flow and provided a clue to the identification of the anomaly in an otherwise asymptomatic neonate. Interrogation of the posterior descending coronary artery should be included in the routine echocardiographic examination of children, as unusual flow patterns may help identify aberrant coronary artery connections.
