Rare Condition, Unusual Anatomy, Elegant Solution - an Uncommon Manifestation of Kawasaki Disease.
EJVES Short Reports 2019
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral artery aneurysms are a rare manifestation of Kawasaki disease (KD), with an estimated incidence of approximately 2% of all KD patients. The case of a 14-year-old girl with past clinical history suggestive of KD is reported; she presented with an aneurysm located in the brachial part of a superficial brachioulnoradial artery, still with the genuine brachial artery in place (an anatomical variation with a reported incidence of 0.14-1.3% in general population). Relevant medical data were collected from the hospital database.
REPORT: This is a report of a case of a symptomatic superficial brachioulnoradial artery aneurysm, secondary to KD, treated with aneurysm exclusion and superficial brachioulnoradial to the genuine brachial artery transposition. Uneventful intra- and postoperative course with symptom resolution is reported.
DISCUSSION: The coexistence of a rare manifestation of KD (peripheral aneurysm) with an even rarer brachial artery variation allowed a simple but elegant solution, making this a unique case.
