title: Progressive left main coronary artery obstruction leading to myocardial infarction in a child with Williams syndrome.
abstract: We report a 3-year-old child with Williams syndrome in whom the first vascular feature of the syndrome was a myocardial infarction related to the occlusion of the left main coronary artery trunk. This coronary artery occlusion was not associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This report emphazises that acute vascular events related to systemic artery anomalies may reveal Williams syndrome.
