title: Spontaneous dissection of coronary arteries.
abstract: Spontaneous dissection of coronary arteries is an uncommon entity with varied presentation. It is commoner in young patients, specially females. We present three cases encountered by us in recent past. There were two males and the only female was in her post-partum period. All the three had diverse lines of management based on the angiographic picture, clinical background and myocardium at risk.
