ABSTRACT
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) can cause a myriad of cardiac manifestations, including coronary dilation and aneurysms; giant aneurysms are infrequent. We describe 3patients with giant coronary aneurysms associated with MIS-C, including the youngest case reported to date, treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, and biologic agents. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
