| Abstract |
|
The two dimensional echocardiographic technique for detecting coronary artery aneurysms was
performed in 62 cases with mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome. Of 62 patients with MCLS, coronary
artery aneurysms were detected as large echo-free space in 8 patients.
It was found that coronary artery aneurysms usually developed during the acute stage of the illness,
and regressed gradually thereafter. Most aneurysms disappeared in 6 months.
Therefore, Echocardiography is an essential diagnostic tool for detecting and following changes
such as the appearance, regression or disappearance of the coronary lesion.
