[Radiologic and echographic aspect of the disease of Kawasaki: experience with 75 cases at the Hospital Sainte-Justine of Montreal].
Seventy-five patients with Kawasaki disease were studied in Hôpital Sainte-Justine between June 1979 and December 1984. Echography (abdominal and cardiac) proved to be a useful tool in the detection of the complications of this syndrome. Coronary aneurysms were present in 9% of our patients; two-dimensional echocardiography easily identified the proximal ones. In all patients, aortography allowed us to identify the extension of the lesions more distally. The left coronary artery was affected in all patients while in five both coronary arteries were involved. In all 75 patients chest radiographs were normal. Abdominal echography permitted diagnosis of a hydrocholecyst in three patients.
