Coronary aneurysms resulting from a previous episode of Kawasaki's disease are considered an important cause of myocardial infarction in children. A case of a 19-year-old man presenting with an acute myocardial infarction associated with coronary aneurysms is described. These coronary lesions were previously evaluated angiographically and echocardiographically at the age of 13 years, 5 months after the acute episode of a Kawasaki's disease.
