Abstract

We report a case of Spontaneous coronary artery dissection associated with fragile X syndrome. The relationship between fragile X syndrome and Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is unclear. However, More research will need about the causes and treatment of Spontaneous coronary artery dissection.

Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome; Fragile X syndrome; Spontaneous coronary artery dissection
