Background
- Acute myocardial infarction (MI) in young adults can present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
- Kawasaki disease (KD) is a vasculitis of unknown etiology that occurs in infancy and childhood
- Coronary artery aneurysms (CAA) are the most serious complication of untreated KD seen in upto 25% of patients
- Thrombosis of these CAA or coronary stenosis can present as MI in less than 2% of cases which mainly occur in the 1st year of disease onset
- Late presentations in adult life is extremely rare

- Ictal asystole is rare, seen in less than 1% of patients with epilepsy, and typically seen in patients with temporal or frontal lobe seizures, rarely in occipital lobe seizures, and has never been described in a patient with PRES .
- PRES is a clinical-radiologic diagnosis in which there is a breakdown of the blood brain barrier caused by abrupt changes of blood pressure, or cytokines causing endothelial damage and this creates brain edema.
- The typical neurological symptoms of PRES include encephalopathy (50-80%), seizure (60-75%), headache (50%), and visual disturbance (35%).
- Brain imaging in PRES usually reveals vasogenic edema in …
