Abstract

Congenital anomalies involving the coronary sinus (CS) tend to receive relatively little attention because they rarely cause clinical symptoms or disturbances of cardiac function. However, as imaging modalities have been developed over time, the detailed anatomy of the heart, including CS anomalies, can now be evaluated more precisely. The purpose of this pictorial review is to illustrate multi-detector computed tomography findings of various congenital anomalies of the CS. The cardiac venous system and its embryologic development are also described in detail to familiarize radiologists with various congenital anomalies of the CS.
