A case is described in which a myocardial infarction in a young woman was associated with a congenital aneurysm of the left coronary artery. Coronary angiography had shown displacement and almost total occlusion of the left circumflex artery. MRI demonstrated that this was owing to an aneurysm of the left circumflex coronary artery.
