Zusammenfassung:The anomalous origin of coronaries is rare. The purpose of this case report is to show a rare anomalous origin of coronaries. A 64-year-old female presented with chest pain that was typical in nature. The patient had left heart catheterization that showed an anomalous origin of coronaries, where all the coronaries were arising from the right coronary cusp. The patient had a significant disease in the distal left anterior descending artery, but it was a small vessel. Medical management was chosen. This is a rare presentation of the coronary anatomy.
