Cardiac CT Angiography-Guided Management of Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysms in Atypical Kawasaki Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an auto-immune, acute febrile illness mostly affecting young children. It may develop into vasculitis characterized by coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) if not diagnosed and managed earlier. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment eventually avoid the risk of the developmen...

description Kawasaki disease (KD) is an auto-immune, acute febrile illness mostly affecting young children. It may develop into vasculitis characterized by coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) if not diagnosed and managed earlier. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment eventually avoid the risk of the development of CAA. We present the case of a 21-month-old female child with a history of persistent fever for nearly 10 days who further developed desquamations and presented for cardiac evaluation. Atypical KD with the development of giant CAAs was effectively diagnosed by cardiac computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and was appropriately managed.
