We present a case with right coronary ostium agenesis with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left circumflex artery, which caused a non‐ST elevation coronary syndrome. A review of the literature indicates this to be an extremely rare case. Clin. Anat. 19:345–346, 2006. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
