Interarterial subtype of coronary artery with anomalous aortic origin is a rare and congenital cardiovascular malformation,manifested by chest pain and syncope after exertion or activity,which can lead to decreased cardiac contractility,myocardial infarction,and even sudden death.Here we report a case of an adolescent patient,who presented with chest pain during activity accompanied by syncope and lost consciousness.Initially diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction,the patient was subsequently diagnosed as interarterial subtype of a coronary artery originating from anomalous aorta after echocardiography,coronary angiography,coronary CT angiography examinations.After anomalous coronary artery correction and coronary angioplasty,the paitent recovered well.
