Summary:	Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been increasingly recognized in recent years as an important cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, especially among young women.

Presented are four case studies that illustrate the recent insights and challenges in SCAD diagnosis and treatment.
