The authors report the case of a 2 month old child in whom a coronary artery fistulae was diagnosed by colour Doppler echocardiography. Routine two-dimensional echocardiography showed a very dilated right coronary artery. Turbulent flow was detected in this vessel by pulsed Doppler echocardiography. Colour Doppler showed the fistulous connection to the inferior wall of the right ventricle. Until recently, this condition could only be diagnosed by selective angiography and coronary arteriography. Although there have been few reports in the literature, colour Doppler echocardiography would seem to be a significant advance in non-invasive diagnosis of abnormal connections of the coronary arteries. It allows the differential diagnosis of coronary aneurysm, ectopic coronary arteries and sinus of Valsalva aneurysms to be excluded. The patients can be followed up by colour Doppler echocardiography and anatomic information can be obtained to guide surgery, notably the site of drainage of the fistula. Coronary artery fistulae presenting clinically with a continuous murmer atypically situated for a patent ductus arteriosus are difficult to detect by conventional echocardiography and usually required cardiac catheterisation and angiography. Color Doppler echocardiography is a valuable non invasive diagnostic tool for this condition. The others report the case of a coronary artery cardiac fistula in a neonate diagnosed by color Doppler echocardiography.
