Abstract:
:The case concerns the sudden death of a 21-year-old male during a soccer game. The autopsy revealed large, calcified saccular aneurysms at the origins of both the left anterior descending and the right coronary arteries. Histologically, the wall of the aneurysms was thin and composed of an internal fibro-calcified layer and an external thin tunica media. There was no evidence of active inflammation. The autopsy findings and a detailed medical history support the diagnosis of a late fatal sequela of Kawasaki disease.
