The mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome or Kawasaki's disease, is a clinical entity consisting of high fever, mucocutaneous involvement and cervical lymphadenopathy that affects infants and young children. Although syndrome is predominantly found in Japan, it has become increasingly recognized in other countries. This disease appears to be benign and self-limited in most instances. However, extensive cardiac involvement may cause sudden death due to myocardial infarction from occlusive coronary artery disease, rupture of a coronary aneurysm or conduction abnormalities. As a result, it has become important to establish a noninvasive diagnostic method for assessing cardiac involvement in this disease. The purpose of this study is to describe the echocardiographic recognition of a left coronary artery aneurysm in a 3 years old mexican boy with Kawasaki's disease.
黏膜皮肤淋巴结综合征或川崎病，是一种临床病症，表现为高热、黏膜皮肤受累及颈部淋巴结病，主要影响婴幼儿。尽管该综合征主要在日本发现，但在其他国家也越来越受到认可。这种疾病在大多数情况下似乎是良性且自限性的。然而，广泛的心脏受累可能由于闭塞性冠状动脉疾病导致的心肌梗死、冠状动脉瘤破裂或传导异常而引起猝死。因此，建立一种用于评估该疾病心脏受累情况的非侵入性诊断方法变得很重要。本研究的目的是描述一名患有川崎病的3岁墨西哥男孩左冠状动脉瘤的超声心动图表现。
