Left Main Coronary Artery Fusiform Aneurysm

Aneurysm of the coronary artery is an uncommon condition that is usually found incidentally. The left coronary aneurysm is the least common. We report the case of a young patient with a history of vasculitis who was found to have a left fusiform coronary aneurysm. This is a 20-year-old female who has a history of polyarteritis nodosa and who came due to shortness of breath associated with chest discomfort. The physical exam was only relevant for multiple joint pains and tenderness. An echocardiogram showed a possible coronary aneurysm that was confirmed on the angio-tomography. The patient was discharged without complications. The left main coronary artery aneurysm is a rare condition and the least common of the coronary aneurysms. There is no established guideline for screening and therapy of these aneurysms, but invasive methods are not a preferred method for follow-up on this condition.
