Introduction:The anomalous origin of a pulmonary artery over the ascending aorta is an extremely rare congenital malformation that comprises only 0.3% of congenital cardiac malformations.Case presentation: The presentation of this condition can be severe and early after birth, or asymptomatic, as in those cases where the ectopia is isolated.Diagnosis is complicated and requires a high level of suspicion due to the non-specific clinical picture.Conclusion: Direct reimplantation of the ectopic pulmonary artery on the pulmonary trunk remains the treatment of choice for these patients.We present the case of a 21-year-old female patient with this pathology.
