Abstract (2. Language): 
Coronary artery anomalies are rarely encountered with a prevalence of approximately 1%-2% in population. There are four types of dual LAD coronary anomalies.Type 4 dual left coronary artery anomaly is detected in 1.2%-6.1% of population. Computed tomography has come up as a very reliable investigative tool for cardiac examination in recent years. Knowledge of proper course of coronary anomalies is important in diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease. Computed tomography cardiac angiography provides better opportunity in diagnosing these anomalies than catheter angiography.
