Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Chest pain is a common symptom requiring thorough cardiac evaluation.
  • Giant coronary artery aneurysms are rare but serious cardiovascular conditions.
  • Kawasaki disease is a childhood illness that can lead to coronary artery abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of giant coronary artery aneurysms presenting in adulthood.
  • To investigate the potential link between subclinical childhood Kawasaki disease and adult coronary aneurysms.
  • To highlight the utility of cardiac CT in diagnosing complex coronary artery pathologies.

Main Methods:

  • A 31-year-old male patient presented with chest pain.
  • Cardiac CT reconstruction was performed for diagnostic imaging.

  • Imaging findings were analyzed to identify coronary artery abnormalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Cardiac CT revealed multiple calcified giant coronary aneurysms.
    • The patient's presentation suggests a history of subclinical Kawasaki disease during childhood.
    • The findings underscore a potential long-term sequela of undiagnosed pediatric illness.

    Conclusions:

    • Giant coronary artery aneurysms can manifest in adulthood, potentially linked to childhood Kawasaki disease.
    • Cardiac CT is crucial for diagnosing and characterizing these complex vascular abnormalities.
    • This case emphasizes the importance of considering long-term cardiovascular risks associated with subclinical pediatric conditions.
