The aim of the study was to describe the morphology of the myocardial bridges (MCB) in one-humped camels. Hearts of 17 male wrestler one-humped camels were grouped into three according to the relationship between the course of the interventricular branches of the coronary arteries and MCB formations. MCBs were found in six hearts (35.29 %) and were on the right and left side in one (5.88 %) and five hearts (29.41%), respectively. The MCB widths were measured by micrometric calibre and the values were found was between 7-15 mm. These results show that both the course of the interventricular branches of the coronary arteries and the localization and existence of MCBs were varying from one specimen to another in the camel.
