Abstract
Unlabelled: Reported case was 46-year-old woman found dead at the forest park rest area. Autopsy examination revealed grossly but normal in appearance heart weighed 400 gr. The orifice of right coronary artery round in shape was situated in the ascending aorta; 17 mm above the sinotubular junction, there was a high take-off coronary artery with ectopic localization. Dissection of the artery confirmed that the proximal segment of the right coronary artery passed between the aorta and pulmonary artery, with acute, oblique down-ward angulation. We aimed to present the rare coronary anomaly and discuss the case from medico legal aspect.
Keywords: Sudden cardiac death - coronary artery - high take-off - ectopic - autopsy.
