Abstract

The authors report on a male infant displaying all the clinical features of the mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome (MLNS) as described by Kawasaki in 1967. In the same patient, diffuse dilatation of the whole arterial tree--as known in infantile periarteriitis nodosa but so far not shown in MLNS--could be demonstrated angiographically during the acute phase of the disease. As the vascular findings at postmortem examination in MLNS and periarteriitis nodosa were the same too, the authors believe that separation of these diseases is not justified.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
