Abstract
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare coronary pathology whose p recise incidence, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment and evolution have not been clearly established. Sudden death accounts for the majority of present ations. It occurs most commonly in young women in the left anterior descend ing coronary artery. We report the case of a its-year-old male with asympto matic spontaneous dissection in the anterior descending coronary artery. (C ) 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
