Coronary aneurysms: a rare manifestation of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common genetic abnormalities and is responsible for over 10% of end-stage chronic kidney disease cases. Extrarenal involvement of ADPKD is manifested by liver and pancreatic cysts, intra and extracranial aneurysms and valvular heart disease, involving the aortic root and the aortic and mitral valves. In this article we report a case of a patient with large coronary artery aneurysms in the context of other manifestations suggesting ADPKD.
