摘　　要：To the Editor： Right pulmonary artery-left atrial fistula （RPALAF） is an extremely rare congenital cardiovascular malformation that may be difficult to diagnose by clinical symptoms. High resolution computed tomographic （CT） gives a clear view of cardiovascular and can provide an accurate diagnosis, and it has not been reported in the last literature date though 320-slice CT scan giving these clear views. On the base of a case of this disease, we describe an 18-year-old girl with RPALAF confirmed by 320-slice CT. This case demonstrates that the 320-slice CT scan is a sensitive and reliable technique for establishing the diagnosis of RPALAF when it cannot be visualized by clinical symptoms.To the Editor： Right pulmonary artery-left atrial fistula （RPALAF） is an extremely rare congenital cardiovascular malformation that may be difficult to diagnose by clinical symptoms.
