Serial two-dimensional echocardiograms documented the formation of giant aneurysms, measuring from 0.55 to 3.1 cm in diameter, in the distribution of the left and right coronary arteries, in a 2 1/2-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease. His global left ventricular function, assessed by M-mode echocardiography, was normal, and no significant wall motion abnormalities could be detected on two-dimensinal evaluation. Cardiac catheterization showed multiple aneurysms with no evidence of stenosis. Although he had no clinical symptoms or electrocardiographic evidence of ischemia, pharmacologic stress and delayed Tl-201 SPECT images revealed prominent stress-induced myocardial ischemia in the left ventricle. A resting gated blood pool study showed hypokinesia in corresponding regions of the left ventricle. This case demonstrates the usefulness of Tl-201 myocardial SPECT imaging and resting gated blood pool studies in the management of coronary artery disease in children with Kawasaki disease. |
