Coronary Sinus Thrombosis and Post-Myocardial Infarction Syndrome in Kawasaki Disease: Rare Causes of Pericardial Effusion.

We present the case of a 2-month-old infant with complete KD complicated by giant coronary artery aneurysms, coronary sinus thrombosis, and post-myocardial infarction syndrome (Dressler syndrome), resulting in 2 distinct episodes of pericardial effusion. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
