Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a newly defined condition associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The syndrome has been described as a "Kawasaki disease"-like illness and the spectrum of associated abnormalities, including vascular complications, remain to be fully defined. The novel findings of a large-vessel arteritis in this report will add to the understanding of this syndrome and its associated vascular complications.
