Abstract

Kawasaki disease is the second most common vasculitis in children after rheumatoid purpura. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with typical Kawasaki disease occlusive syndrome and coronary artery disease. Echocardiography shows a giant aneurysm of the left coronary artery of 9 mm and the right coronary artery 7 mm. This observation highlights the interest of not disregarding kawasaki’s disease in front of all its complete incomplete or atypical forms to delay the diagnosis and the treatment. It emphasizes the importance of giving immunoglobulins as early as possible to prevent coronary involvement.
