Abstract

We describe the clinical presentation of a newborn, who received diagnosis of diffuse right coronary artery dilatation and a high origin of the same vessel, in the absence of intrauterine hypoxia or other identifiable causes of coronary artery ectasia. The relevance of the case is in the complex aetiology of congenital heart malformation. In addition, we also highlight the difficult therapeutic management of these patients, in lack of guidelines for newborn population.
