    (2014) Ekici, Filiz; Varan, Birgul; Kocabas, Abdullah; Erdogan, Ilkay; Eminoglu, Sancar; Aktas, Dogukan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6719-8563; 24528198; ABB-1767-2021; AAD-2644-2019; AAJ-2305-2021
    Myocardial infarction and systemic arterial aneurysms are rarely seen during the course of the Kawasaki disease (KD). Herein, we report the case of a 4-month-old Turkish infant who was diagnosed with KD on the 17th day of the illness. On admission, echocardiogram showed multiple coronary arterial aneurysms (CAAs) and massive pericardial effusion. He was given intravenous immunoglobulin, aspirin and anticoagulant drugs. However, the aneurysms progressed to super giant CAAs, multiple huge coronary arterial thromboses developed recurrently and caused myocardial ischemia. Furthermore, the conventional angiography revealed multiple giant aneurysms and stenoses in the subclavian, celiac, and iliac arteries, besides CAAs. Mini-Abstract We report the case of a 4-month-old Turkish infant who was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease associated with multiple super giant coronary aneurysms, huge coronary thromboses, and massive pericardial effusion. Multiple systemic arterial aneurysms and stenoses were also detected in subclavian, axillary, renal, and iliac arteries as well as coronary arteries at the beginning of convalescent period.

    Asymptomatic giant congenital left atrial aneurysm
    (2019) Yakut, Kahraman; Varan, Birgul; Erdogan, Ilkay; 31559732
    Congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage can be caused by congenital dysplasia of the pectinate muscles and may be accompanied by a congenital absence of the pericardium. Symptoms generally manifest after two decades and the most common symptom is atrial arrhythmia in the form of atrial fibrillation / flutter. A four year-old patient with no symptoms underwent an echocardiographic examination for the investigation of a heart murmur. Echocardiographic examination revealed a large cystic lesion occupying the left hemithorax and compressing the left ventricle. The patient was referred to our center. The lesion caused displacement of the heart rightward behind the sternum which made the examination difficult. We aimed to present this rare case of giant left atrial appendage aneurysm in the light of current literature.
