Abstract

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a systemic disease characterized by the formation of multiple cysts in several organs. The formation of aneurysms accompanying this disease is being increasingly reported in the literature, and mutations in PKD-1 and PKD-2 are suspected in this etiology. Although the association between ADPKD and multiple coronary arteries aneurysms (CAA) was reported several times, we are presenting a case with the combination of ADPKD, multiple giant CAAs, abdominal aortic aneurysms and a suspected intracranial aneurysm, which has never been reported. The asymptomatic presentation of these multiple aneurysms might support the recommendations for further diagnostic investigations in these patients.
