Pulmonary artery dissection is a fatal complication of long-standing pulmonary hypertension, manifesting as acute, stabbing chest pain, progressive dyspnea, cardiogenic shock, or sudden death. Its incidence has been underestimated, and therapeutic options are still scarce. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, new chest pain, acute chest pain, or cardiogenic shock should raise the suspicion of pulmonary artery dissection, which can result in sudden death.

A healthy 17-year-old boy was admitted to the emergency department presenting with a pressure-like sternal pain that started during exercise. His physical examination was normal. Twelve-lead ECG and transthoracic echocardiogram suggested a myocardial infarction. The patient was submitted to an invasive coronary angiography, which revealed a distal occlusion of the left anterior descending artery, due to a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. A balloon angioplasty was performed, with good results. Aetiological study did not discover any pathologic condition. Chest pain in paediatric age is a frequent complaint, despite not being usually caused by a serious condition. However, it is important to remember warning signs in order to diagnose life-threatening diseases, as soon as possible.
