Abstract

Although coronary aneurysms and ectasia are well-recognized, they are uncommon sequelae and may evolve into myocardial infarction. When such a case is suspected, conventional coronary angiography and echocardiography are the most commonly used imaging modalities. Here we report a case of non-specific vasculitis in a 31-year-old woman presenting with multiple coronary aneurysms, ectasia, and myocardial infarction identified by multidetector row computed tomography.
