Abstract (2. Language): 
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare disease characterized by myocardial ischemia which becomes symptomatic shortly after birth leading to left heart failure and death. Survival to adulthood have been reported in some cases. Recognition and diagnosis of ALCAPA syndrome is important due to its potentially life-threatening complications. This case report emphasizes the importance of diagnosing late presentation of the ALCAPA syndrome.

Pulmoner arterden köken alan sol koroner arter anomalisi (ALCAPA), do- ğumdan kısa süre sonra semptomatik olan, sol kalp yetmezliği ve ölüme yol açan miyokardiyal iskemi ile karakterize nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Erişkinliğe kadar sağkalım birkaç vakada bildirilmiştir. ALCAPA sendromunun fark edilmesi ve tanı konulması, olası hayatı tehdit eden komplikasyonları nedeniyle önemlidir. Bu olgu sunumu, geç ortaya çıkan ALCAPA sendromunun tanısının önemini vurgulamaktadır.
