Vomiting as the initial clinical presentation of myocardial infarction in children with anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk

Turk J Pediatr. 2008 Sep-Oct;50(5):476-9.

Abstract

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is a rare condition. The clinical presentation is usually nonspecific and varies from completely asymptomatic form to sudden cardiac death. We report a two-month-old infant with vomiting as a presenting symptom of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk.
