ABSTRACT
Spontaneous dissection of the coronary arteries is an extremely rare event that occurs usually in middle-aged women and is mostly recognized at postmortem examination in victims of sudden death. It is a rare coronary pathologic finding whose precise incidence, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and evolution have not been clearly established. We present a sudden death case of a 53-year-old woman with spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery with eosinophilic coronary arteritis.
