Abstract
Aneurysmal disease of the coronary arteries is a topic specific to pediatric ages in cardiology practice, with secondary causes in most cases completely related to viral infection by an unknown causative agent, in genetically predisposed people, so encountering an adult patient with these pathological characteristics resulted in a cause of academic discussion.
A coronary aneurysm can be defined as a dilation of an arterial segment greater than 1.5 times the diameter of the adjacent normal-sized arteries, taking into account that the diameter of the coronary arteries ranges from 1.5 to 6 mm for the right coronary arteries (RCA) and left coronary arteries, respectively. The left coronary artery (LC) is 60% larger than the RCA. They can be the result of coronary atherosclerosis, congenital, secondary to connective tissue diseases, or infections.
