Abstract :
A 4-year-old boy without any medical history presented to
local emergency department with fever for 10 days and aggravated abdominal pain for 3 days. Gastroenteritis was suspected
and intravenous antibiotic was prescribed. Three days later, he
suffered cardiac arrest and after successful cardiopulmonary
resuscitation, he was immediately transferred to our hospital.
Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia, Q wave was observed in V2-4 (Fig. 1a). Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)
and 3-dimensional TTE revealed giant dilatation of left anterior
descending coronary artery (LAD; 16 mm) with massive intraluminal thrombus (Fig. 1b, Video 1, 2), dilated right coronary artery
(RCA; 6 mm), enlarged left ventricle with abnormal wall motion
(left ventricular ejection fraction: 48%) (Fig. 1c, Video 3). Patient
was diagnosed with incomplete Kawasaki disease and myocardial infarction. Intravenous immunoglobulin, clopidogrel, warfarin, and diuretic were administered.
