Abstract

Bland White Garland Syndrome is a very rare congenital heart defect in which the left coronary artery arises abnormally from the pulmonary artery. We present an extremely rare case of Bland White Garland Syndrome with an aneurysm of the left coronary artery in a 14-year-old Afghan girl. The patient was asymptomatic throughout her life except for one attack of exertional chest discomfort. The diagnoses of these anomalies were established by electrocardiography, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and computed tomography of the chest. During her hospital stay and on discharge, she had a stable condition and was referred for surgical management in an advanced setting abroad. Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery may coexist with an aneurysm of the left coronary artery and not exhibit symptoms until adolescence.
