Coronary cameral fistula is a rare entity characterized by an
abnormal communication between coronary artery and a cardiac
chamber. It is congenital and asymptomatic in the majority of
patients. A 29-year-old male patient presented with fever and
dyspnea for eight months. A coronary cameral fistula arising
from the right coronary artery to the right atrium complicating
with aortic valve endocarditis was detected on computed
tomography angiography. The rarity of the condition and the
nuanced complication led to very individualized course of
treatment which was optimal for this patient.
