It is a benign incidental finding. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the first choice imaging modality for non-invasive visualization of coronary artery anomalies. Also, it is fast and safe. Here, we present a case with an absent LCx detected by coronary CTA in a 20-year-old man with chest pain. http://imj.galenos.com.tr/archives/archive-detail/article-preview/absence-of-the-left-circumflex-artery-detected-by-/31958 coronary computed tomography angiographycoronary arteriesanomaliesleft circumflex artery
