Takayasu arteritis (TA), also known as idiopathic medial aortopathy or pulseless disease, is a granulomatous large vessel vasculitis that predominantly affects the aorta and its major branches. It may also affect the pulmonary arteries. The exact cause is not well known but the pathology is thought to be similar to giant cell arteritis. There is segmental and patch granulomatous inflammation of the aorta which results in stenosis, thrombosis and aneurysm formation. Half of the patients present with an initial systemic illness whereas the other 50% present with late-phase complications. There is a strong female predominance (F: M ~ 9:1), an increased prevalence in Asian populations, and it tends to affect younger patients (<50 years of age). The typical age of onset is at around 15-30 years of age. Here, it is reported a case of 9 years old girl with Takayasu’s arteritis.

Wide Range

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis of large vessels of unclear etiology, predominantly affecting the aorta and its main branches, with possible involvement of the coronary and pulmonary arteries. The true prevalence of this disease is unknown, but it is extremely low, given the rare diagnosis and the absence of pathognomonic symptoms. In clinical practice, the criteria proposed by the American College of Rheumatology are used for making a diagnosis. A wide range of imaging diagnostic techniques plays a significant role. This article provides a literature review and a case report of Takayasu's arteritis in a patient admitted with an acute coronary syndrome.

Segmental Involvement

Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory arteriopathy characterized by segmental involvement of the aorta, its major branches, and, occasionally, the pulmonary arteries. Arterial inflammation generally results in occlusion, but Takayasu's arteritis occasionally presents as aneurysm formation. Takayasu's arteritis generally afflicts young women and is most often characterized by an acute episode of systemic illness and neurologic symptoms secondary to stenoses of the carotid and vertebral circulation. We report an unusual case of Takayasu's arteritis in a 43-year-old man who presented with severe back pain and provide a brief review of the literature.

Background. Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare, chronic, inflammatory, progressive, idiopathic arteriopathy, afflicting young women of reproductive age group, causing narrowing, occlusion, and aneurysms of systemic and pulmonary arteries, especially the aorta and its branches. During pregnancy, such patients warrant special attention. An interdisciplinary collaboration of obstetricians, cardiologists, and neurologists is necessary to improve maternal and fetal prognosis. Here a case is reported where a patient with diagnosis of TA, complicated by neurological sequelae, successfully fought the vagaries of the condition twice to deliver uneventfully.Case. 25-year-old G2P1L1 presented at 34 weeks of gestation, with chronic hypertension, with TA, with epilepsy, and with late-onset severe IUGR. Following a multidisciplinary approach, she delivered an alive born low birth weight baby (following induction). Her postpartum course remained uneventful.Conclusion. Pregnancy with TA poses a stringent challenge to an obstetrician. Despite advancements in cardiovascular management and advent of new-fangled drugs, the optimal management for pregnant patients with this disease still remains elusive.

Lv Dysfunction

Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare large-vessel vasculitis that affects large arteries, mainly the aorta and its branches. It is also called a pulseless disease because of diminished or absent pulses in the upper extremities of the patient. The coronary, pulmonary and renal arteries are also affected in the progression of the disease. The prevalence of the disease is more in Asian countries and it has unknown etiopathogenesis. Here we discuss a case of TA in a 15 y old girl who was admitted with moderate LV dysfunction. The diagnosis was carried out from the results of CT aortogram which showed stenosis of right common carotid, left subclavian, left vertebral artery, right renal artery and lower lobe pulmonary arteries and other clinical examinations. Treatment was initiated with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide along with symptomatic treatment. But the disease progressed with the development of complications like peripheral leg ulcers. The patient was initiated palliative care in view of altered sensorium and severe LV dysfunction, but the patient succumbed to a sudden cardiac arrest. Early identification and initiation of aggressive treatment can help in symptom-free survival.

Serial Examination

Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a rare nonspecific inflammatory disease of unknown cause predominantly affecting the aorta and its main branches, coronary arteries, and pulmonary arteries of young females. Diagnosis of TA is typically achieved through computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), with sonography often used as a tool for surveillance of disease progression following diagnosis. A case of previously diagnosed TA is presented that demonstrates the effective use of sonography to monitor the progression of the disease with serial examination. The use of CTA and MRA allowed for accurate initial diagnosis, whereas sonography proved to be an effective diagnostic surveillance tool for proper tracking of the disease and its clinical manifestations. Increased sonographer awareness of TA including the clinical manifestations and sonographic characteristics associated with progression of the disease can improve patient outcomes in this potentially life-threatening disease.
