Özet

Pseucloxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive calcific degeneration and fragmentation of the elastic fibres. We present a patient with PXE who had premature atherosclerosis that had involved severely all major coronary vessels as well as an anomalous origin of right coronary artery.
