Abstract
Summary: A case of coronary artery occlusion with cardiac infarction and aneurysm formation in a normocholesterolæmic youth, aged 18 years, is described. One of the occlusions was a recent platelet thrombus, and the other, a recanalizing occlusion, showed extensive foam cell formation, suggesting that this too was of platelet origin. In neither instance was there any demonstrable disease of the arterial wall.Keywords
