| Abstrakt: | Kawasaki disease is an acute, self-limiting, systemic vasculitis of small and medium-sized arteries. It predominantly occurs in children under 4 years of age, though rarely older children can also be affected. This disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, with coronary aneurysms being a hallmark finding. The risk of coronary complications necessitates regular monitoring and possible preventative treatment with thromboprophylaxis. Here we discuss a rare case of a 10-year-old boy who exhibited typical symptoms of Kawasaki disease and was found to have multiple coronary artery aneurysms through diagnostic imaging.
