A case of right coronary-artery to right ventricular fistula is described. The patient, a 3-year old Ethiopian female child, was asymptomatic. Examination revealed a machinery type murmur at the third and fourth intercostal spaces. Diagnosis was made by echocardiography, and coronary arteriography, followed by successful ligation of the coronary AV fistula. This is a rare congenital anomaly. The literature on congenital arteriovenous is briefly reviewed and the diagnosis and therapy discussed.
