Two-dimensional TTE, basal parasternal short-axis view in diastole, demonstrates (A) the normal LMCA upon hospital admission, (B) progressive dilation of the LMCA (3.5 mm, Z score +5.1) and LAD (3.6 mm, Z score +12.2) on day 7, and (C) rapid formation of the giant LAD aneurysm (5.7 mm, Z score +22) on day 9.

Two-dimensional TTE, basal parasternal short-axis view in diastole, demonstrates (A) the normal RCA upon hospital admission, (B) progressive dilation of the RCA (3.7 mm, Z score +7.1) on day 7, and (C) rapid formation of the giant RCA aneurysm (4.2 mm, Z score +8.6) on day 9.

(A) Two-dimensional TTE, subcostal and (B) apical 4-chamber views, demonstrates fluid in the pericardial space and echogenic material between the thickened visceral epicardial layer and separate parietal epicardial layer consistent with a hemopericardium and epicardial hematoma, respectively.
