Abstract

Anomalous origin of circumflex coronary is not an uncommon finding. However, dual origin of circumflex artery is a rare anomaly. An extensive literature search indicates that there have been only three such prior reports. We report the first such case from the Indian subcontinent. This was diagnosed by conventional angiography and CT angiography.

Keywords: Anomalous; Circumflex; Twin.
