Kawasaki disease is an acute systemic vascular disease, generally self-limited and typically affecting children <5 years old, which leads to coronary artery aneurysms in about 25% of untreated cases. Cardiovascular involvement is characterised by transient pancarditis, in acute phase, while coronary illness, ranging from mild dilation to giant CAAs occurs late, rarely before the 10th day since fever onset. Here, we describe a peculiar case of KD, which occurred in a 4-month-old infant and presented with exudate cardiac tamponade and early giant aneurism of both the proximal right coronary artery) and the left circumflex coronary artery, in acute phase of the disease.
川崎病是一种急性全身性血管疾病,通常为自限性,典型地影响5岁以下儿童,在约25%未经治疗的病例中会导致冠状动脉瘤。心血管受累在急性期的特征为短暂性全心炎,而冠状动脉疾病,从轻度扩张到巨大冠状动脉瘤,发生较晚,很少在发热开始后的第10天之前出现。在此,我们描述了一例特殊的川崎病病例,发生在一名4个月大的婴儿身上,在疾病急性期表现为渗出性心包填塞以及右冠状动脉近端和左旋支冠状动脉早期巨大动脉瘤。
