Abstract :
Congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare occurrence and very few cases have been reported in literature. It is a benign
incidental finding; however some patients present with sudden onset chest pain mimicking acute coronary syndrome often resulting
in detection of this rare anatomy on coronary angiography. Coronary computed tomography angiography is a relatively new
noninvasive imaging modality which can be used to confirm this suspicion and diagnose this unique morphology reliably
