Aneurysms of the coronary arteries are rare and most cases develop in vessels with severe atherosclerosis. However, coronary aneurysms of other etiological origins may occur in younger people. These cases often remain undetected until a sudden and sometimes fatal complication occurs. Therefore, knowledge of the disease is important not only for the clinician, but also for the forensic pathologist. We report the case of a young man who died suddenly and unexpectedly and in whom autopsy revealed a giant coronary artery aneurysm complicated by fresh, obliterating thrombosis.
冠状动脉瘤罕见，大多数病例发生于有严重动脉粥样硬化的血管。然而，其他病因所致的冠状动脉瘤可能发生于年轻人。这些病例往往在突发且有时致命的并发症出现之前未被发现。因此，了解这种疾病不仅对临床医生很重要，对法医病理学家也很重要。我们报告一例年轻男性突然意外死亡的病例，尸检发现其患有巨大冠状动脉瘤，并伴有新鲜的闭塞性血栓形成。
