title: [Arterial dissection: Different entities for the same name].
abstract: Spontaneous arterial dissection is a disease whose prevalence is difficult to know and which varies according to the affected artery territory. It can affect the aorta and all medium caliber peripheral arteries including cerebrovascular arteries, coronary arteries and renal arteries. The pathophysiology is common, it is a bleeding in the media. The causes are diverse and vary by territory. Affected patients have few cardiovascular risk factors. Fibromuscular dysplasia is the condition to look for in these few presentations. The vital and functional prognosis may be engaged. Treatment varies depending on territory, severity, and etiology. Conservative treatment is the first-line treatment.
