title: Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the posterior, non-coronary sinus of Valsalva diagnosed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the posterior, non-coronary sinus is extremely rare and has never been reported in a paediatric-age competitive athlete. We report this very rare case of the right coronary artery arising from the posterior sinus. In the anomalous right coronary from the posterior sinus, the proximal right coronary artery appears widely patent and has no interarterial course.
