title: Congenital coronary artery anomalies for the pathologist.
abstract: Congenital coronary artery anomalies are rare. Pathologists are exposed to those in mainly two settings; in association with sudden death and usually extreme exercise in young adults, and in association with complex congenital heart disease in the pediatric and perinatal population. Pediatric pathologists, other pathologists and pathologists' assistants performing pediatric or forensic autopsies therefore need to be familiar with coronary artery anomalies.
