| description | Kounis syndrome (KS) is a hypersensitive coronary disorder leading to acute coronary syndrome triggered by drugs, food, and environmental factors. Herein, we report a 39-year-old patient who was admitted to our clinic due to type 2 KS after oral diclofenac use. Interestingly, spontaneous coronary artery dissection was detected simultaneously on coronary angiography. Up to now, no case has been defined including the combination of these two different conditions. |
