Hello how are you ? Hope you and your child are in good health and spirits.

I have read your query and yes, you are right approximately 20% of children who suffer from kawasaki disease have chances of developing aneurysms characterized by swelling of a section of blood vessels.

Following treatment of aneurysm, it goes away and arteries look normal. However, the wall of aneurysm is basically weak and abnormal once formed. A clot or thrombus nay develop in aneurysm leading to serious heart problems in future.

You must consult your child's medical specialist and cardiologist regularly. A heart scan may become necessary if symptoms and signs appear.

Hope he will never get any complications.
