255.Coronary artery aneurysms associated with SLE

Fig 3 and Fig 4

Cardiac gated T1-weighted (Fig 3, scans 1 - 4) and gradient-echo (Fig 4, scans 1 - 5) axial images prove the masses to be large aneurysms of the proximal and mid right coronary artery and the proximal and mid left anterior descending coronary artery.  The right coronary aneurysm measures nearly 5 cm and the left measures almost 4 cm, with only small residual luminal artery (arrow in Fig 4A), the remainder being occupied by thrombus.                    

-图三、图四：心脏门控T1序列和周围梯度回波序列，可提示肿块为动脉瘤，分别位于右冠脉近段、中段，左前降支的近段、中段。右冠脉动脉瘤约5cm，左侧约4cm，残余管腔仅剩很小部分，剩余管腔被血栓堵塞。

Diagnosis:  Coronary artery aneurysms associated with SLE.

-诊断：冠状动脉动脉瘤伴系统性红斑狼疮。
