Abstract
The authors report a case of spontaneous dissection of both carotid arteries, followed by spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending coronary artery after a few days. No major abnormalities of collagen production were found. This case may be underlain by a dysplasia of common precursors of the carotid and coronary walls.
