RESUMO
A 51-year-old woman suffered rapidly irreversible cardiogenic shock with left hemiparesis. Transesophageal echocardiography, which represents an essential imaging tool in the emergency room, ruled out aortic dissection involving branch vessels but did not allow an in vivo diagnosis of spontaneous coronary dissection. The in vivo diagnosis of spontaneous coronary dissection is rather difficult because of the dramatic clinical presentation and selective coronary angiography requirement.
