description | ALCAPA syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease and a cause of myocardial ischemia in pediatric population. The authors present the case of a 10-year-old girl admitted to the emergency room after experiencing cardiac arrest at school. In the echocardiogram, the inability to identify the origin of the left coronary artery raised the hypothesis of abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA). A CT-scan and a cardiac catheterization were performed confirming the diagnosis. Infants with the syndrome may have myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure(.) She successfully underwent cardiac surgery. Most undiagnosed patients die within the first year of life, and it is necessary to develop an extensive network of collaterals to ensure survival. ALCAPA syndrome rarely manifests in late childhood, teenagers, and adults and may be an important cause of sudden cardiac arrest. |
