title: Multiple spontaneous coronary artery dissections in association with anomalous origin of right coronary and intramural coronary artery dysplasia.
abstract: We present a case of sudden death due to spontaneous acute coronary artery dissection. In addition, there was a healing spontaneous coronary dissection, intramural coronary artery dysplasia, and an anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk. The coincidence of multiple spontaneous coronary dissections, coronary arterial dysplasia, and anomalous origin of the right coronary artery is unique.
