Key result
A young female patient presented with re-emergence of giant coronary artery aneurysms, with subsequent immuno-histological confirmation of previous Kawasaki disease.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare re-emergence of giant coronary artery aneurysms in a young adult with a history of Kawasaki disease.
Supports vigilance for late giant aneurysm recurrence in adult Kawasaki survivors; leaves open standardized follow-up guidelines.
Coronary arteries aneurysms with their thrombotic occlusion are known to be detected in young patients who have suffered Kawasaki disease in childhood. The other vascular beds are usually not involved. In the literature one can find not enough information regarding diagnostics of this pathology, as well as no specific treatment algorithm. We present here a clinical case of re-emergence of giant aneurysms of coronary arteries in the young female patient with subsequent immuno-histological confirmation of previous Kawasaki disease.
