X Ray

• The abnormal findings on the chest x-ray in Kawasaki disease are non specific which may include the following:
  • Peribronchial cuffing
  • A reticulogranular pattern
  • Pleural effusion
  • Atelectasis
  • Air trapping
• In rare circumstances several years after resolution of the first episode, within the elderly population, calcifications of the coronary artery will lead to coronary artery aneurysms. These aneurysms may be visualized using a plan radiograph. This presentation is described as an “Aunt Minnie” sequelae of Kawasaki disease.
