Coronary fibromuscular dysplasia is an extremely rare but potentially fatal condition that can cause sudden cardiac death.
We present a sudden cardiac death case in a 43 years old male. Death was determined by an association of coronary tree anomalies (generating a chronic hypo perfusion of the posterior and lateral diaphragmatic wall of the left ventricle) and coronary fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). A review of recent literature revealed that coronary FMD is an extremely rare (or underreported) pathologic entity, only 16 cases being reported.
