In medicine the coexistence of two clinical causes can lead to the same clinical findings and this can make the researcher s attempt to distinguish between the two of them and hence the correct diagnosis and treatment difficult. Case presentation A six-month-old boy from Pakistan was brought to our hospital with tachypnea and supraventricular tachycardia and on the basis of echocardiography and multi-slice computed tomography was diagnosed with an anomalous left coronary artery origin from the pulmonary artery. The presence of an anomalous left coronary artery origin from the pulmonary artery was not initially recognized and left ventricular dysfunction was considered as a result of supraventricular tachycardia. He underwent direct re-implantation of the left coronary artery to the aorta using the trapdoor flap technique. Recurrent episodes of supraventricular tachycardia resistant to maximal pharmacological treatment occurred post-operatively. A left posterolateral accessory pathway was successfully ablated by using a trans-septal approach. Conclusions It should not be forgotten by anyone that many times in medicine what seems obvious is not correct. It can be difficult to distinguish two clinical entities and frequently one is considered a result of the other. This is the first report of the coexistence
