Background Kounis syndrome is an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) caused by allergic reactions, including coronary artery spasm (type I) caused by allergies without coronary predisposing factors, pre-existing coronary atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease.

MINOCA may be due to: coronary spasm, coronary microvascular dysfunction, plaque disruption, spontaneous coronary thrombosis/emboli , and coronary dissection; myocardial disorders, including myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy, and other cardiomyopathies. There may be a chronic tight stenosis and a non-obstructed lesion that thrombosed.

CT angiography (CTA) of the head and neck demonstrated a nearly occlusive thrombus of the distal right M2 segment MCA as well as non‐hemodynamic stenosis of the proximal right ICA with possible underlying sidewall filling defect‐appearing lesion concerning for a posterior wall thrombus without underlying atherosclerosis at the bulb or otherwise.

distal stenosis or occluded small branches), and 3) nonischemic causes for myocyte injury (e.g., Coronary thrombosis or embolism can result in MINOCA, either with or without a hypercoagulable state. If there is any evidence of atherosclerosis, modifiable CAD risk factors should be treated aggressively. myocarditis).
