ABSTRACT
We report a case of variant origin of the right coronary artery from the left posterior aortic sinus. This was observed routinely during a medico legal autopsy of a 58 year old male who died in a road traffic accident. Initially it was believed that the right coronary artery was absent since there was no obvious right coronary artery ostium from the anterior aortic sinus. However it was found later that the right coronary ostium was present just beside the left coronary ostium in the left posterior aortic sinus and the right coronary artery was arising from the left posterior aortic sinus. The right coronary artery had an intramural course between the aorta and pulmonary trunk, which is considered as very dangerous and life threatening. We believe that the present case report will be enlightening to the cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon. It is also true that the conduction of medico legal autopsies of coronary arteries is important for the medico legal resolution.
RESUMEN
Se presenta un caso de variación de origen de la arteria coronaria derecha desde el seno aórtico posterior izquierdo. Esto se observó de forma rutinaria durante una autopsia médico-legal de un hombre de 58 años que murió en un accidente de tránsito. Inicialmente se creía que la arteria coronaria derecha estaba ausente ya que no había un ostium observable desde el seno aórtico anterior. Sin embargo, se descubrió más tarde que el ostium de la arteria coronaria derecha estaba presente justo al lado del ostium de la arteria coronaria izquierda en el seno aórtico posterior izquierdo y la arteria coronaria derecha se originaba del seno aórtico posterior izquierdo. La arteria coronaria derecha presentó un recorrido intramural entre la aorta y el tronco pulmonar, que se considera como muy peligroso y potencialmente mortal. Creemos que el presente trabajo será esclarecedor para el cardiólogo y el cirujano cardiotorácico. También consideramos que el conocimiento de la anatomía de las arterias coronarias es importante durante el desarrollo de la autopsia médico-legal para lograr alcanzar una correcta resolución del proceso medicolegal.
