ABSTRACT
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rere incident occurring usually in young patients, predominautly in females. It is usually fatal and found postmortem. It is also a rare cause of acute myocardial infarction. We present the case of a twenty nine-year-old-man with spontaneous right coronary artery dissection found angiographically which caused an inferior wall myocardial infarction. He was treated with medical therapy only amd after uneventful hospital course, he was discharged with medication. Three months later, coronary angiography was done to follow up the lesion and found that the site was completely healed.
