“…Furthermore, eosinophilic vasculitis with medial necrosis has been identified at autopsy in otherwise healthy individuals with spontaneous coronary dissection or rupture. It has therefore been proposed that cytotoxic substances released from perivascular eosinophils may result in direct medial destruction, predisposing to aneurysmal formation or spontaneous intimal dissection and sudden cardiac death [30].…”

“…The release of this protein may damage collagen, elastin and smooth muscle cells. This damage predisposes to aneurysm formation or spontaneous intimal dissection of coronary arteries and can lead to cardiac emboli or sudden cardiac death [10, 11]. A similar mechanism may play a role in intracranial dissection, as in our patient.…”
