Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an uncommon vascular malformation. As the majority of patients remain asymptomatic, approximately half of the cases may be clinical undetectable. We report here a rare case of a 10-year-old female with CAF from the left main coronary artery to the superior vena cava detected on echocardiography and CT angiography.
