Clinical case report of facial neuritis, a rare manifestation of Kawasaki disease
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic disease characterized by predominant damage to small and medium-sized arteries with the development of destructive-proliferative vasculitis, damage to the coronary (CA) and visceral arteries. In addition to the symptoms included in the diagnostic criteria for KD, other clinical manifestations are observed in the Article. Facial nerve damage in KD is a rare but serious manifestation which can be a marker for severe CA damage. Authors represent their own clinical case report of a 5-months-old male patient with late diagnosis of immunoglobulin-resistant KD with giant aneurysms of CA and facial nerve paralysis.
