Zusammenfassung:Anomalies of the coronary arteries are relatively rare forms of congenital malformation affecting approximately 1% of the population. Patients affected by these anomalies may present themselves asymptomatic, or suffer of a sudden form of acute myocardial infarction, severe arrhythmia and even sudden death. The diagnosis based on clinical history and physical examination often can not be done, for there are no clinically significant changes; therefore the use of imaging is of utmost importance, as in coronary cineangiography, angiotomography and coronary arteries NMR. We report a case in which an elderly, hypertense and smoker patient, associated to atherosclerotic disease presented unstable angina and submitted to coronary cineangiography which revealed incidentally an anomalous origin and course of the left coronary artery. Keywords: Coronary vessel anomalies; Coronary disease; Coronary vessels; Coronary angiography; Myocardial revascularization; Aged. As anomalias das arterias coronarias sao formas relativamente raras de malformacao congenita acometendo aproximadamente 1% da populacao. O paciente portador de anomalia de arteria coronaria pode apresentar-se assintomatico por um longo periodo, ou, apresentar de forma subita um infarto agudo do miocardio, arritmias graves e ate morte subita. O diagnostico baseado em historia clinica e exame fisico muitas vezes nao e possivel, pois nao ha alteracoes clinicas significativas; portanto o uso de exames de imagem e de suma importancia, tais como cineangiocoronariografia, angiotomografia e ressonancia de arterias coronarias. Relatamos um caso em que uma paciente idosa, hipertensa e tabagista, portadora de doenca aterosclerotica apresentou angina instavel e foi submetida a cineangiocoronariografia, a qual revelou de maneira incidental, origem e curso anomalos de arteria coronaria esquerda.
