Giant coronary artery aneurysms in Kawasaki disease: A case report

Author(s):

Marisa Pereira, André Carvalho, Ana Reise Melo and Ana Correia-Costa

Abstract:

Kawasaki disease is one of the most common vasculitis of childhood, typically self-limited but may progress to the development of coronary artery aneurysms, which occurs in about 25% of untreated cases, and 3-5% of cases when adequate treatment is performed.
We report a case of Kawasaki disease that, despite adequate treatment in the first 10 days, evolved to the development of giant aneurysms of the coronary arteries, which persist after a year of follow-up.
