Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis that involves coronary arteries. Systematized epidermal nevus is a skin disease characterized by extensive verrucous and hyperchromic plaques. A male patient, previously diagnosed with systematized epidermal nevus, was referred for high fever. Eye injection, red lip, strawberry tongue, and enlarged neck node were accompanied. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVGG) and high-dose aspirin were given for the treatment of KD. An echocardiogram revealed a small aneurysm in the right coronary artery (RCA). Second IVGG was administered because of refractoriness. The size of the aneurysm was increased to medium in RCA and another medium-sized aneurysm was found in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Clopidogrel was added. After 3 days of defervescence, he was discharged. Warfarin was added for a giant aneurysm in LAD, aggravated 8 weeks later after the presentation. 11 months later, giant aneurysm was changed to medium sized aneurysm. Patient is at following with dual antiplatelet therapy without warfarin.
