AB  - BACKGROUND: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare cause of ischemic 
      heart disease and sudden death. Prompt diagnosis is of paramount importance, 
      especially in cases when it manifests with ST elevation myocardial infarction 
      (STEMI). CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of a 42 year-old woman, who 
      presented with an anterior STEMI in a hospital without on-site percutaneous 
      coronary intervention (PCI) facilities. She was transferred to our hospital and 
      coronary angiography revealed a spontaneous dissection of the left main stem 
      coronary artery (LM). The dissection was successfully managed with PCI. 
      CONCLUSION: PCI appears to be a potential option, for the treatment of selected 
      cases with spontaneous LM dissection, presenting with an acute coronary syndrome.
