Segmented Coronary Artery Aneurysms and Kawasaki Disease

It occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries.

description Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute vasculitis syndrome of unknown etiology. It occurs in infants and young children, affecting mainly small and medium-sized arteries, particularly the coronary arteries. Generalized microvasculitis occurs in the first 10 days, and the inflammation persists in the walls of medium and small arteries, especially the coronary arteries, and changes to coronary artery aneurysms. We report the case of a 10-month-old girl referred to our center three months after the onset of disease due to the aneurysms of the coronary arteries. During the acute phase of her illness, she received 2 gr/kg intravenous gamma globulin; and after her referral to us, the patient was treated by antiaggregant doses of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (5 mg/kg) and Warfarin (1 mg/daily). At three months’ follow-up, the aneurysms still persisted in the echocardiogram.
