Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare acute coronary artery disease that mostly occurs in young women. The current algorithms applied for the diagnosis and follow up of suspected cases of SCAD does not include the utility of Coronary computed Tomography Angiogram (CCTA). It currently depends on invasive procedures such as conventional coronary angiogram (CAG). In this article, we are presenting 2 cases in which CCTA contributed significantly in both the diagnosis and the follow up of the disease. We demonstrate that the new emerging imaging modality could contribute to improving the flow of this cohort of patients in the treatment pathway. It also provides a wider option for diagnosis and follow-up.
