RESUMOIntrodução: A Arterite de Takayasu (AT) consiste em uma vasculopatia de origem indefinida, sendo de caráter crônico, que afeta a aorta e seus ramos principais. Em gestantes é uma condição complexa, em que o tratamento clínico é realizado com restrições. A utilização de corticoides tem sido favorável no controle inflamatório, principalmente naqueles casos em que antes da gravidez se fazia uso de imunossupressores. Casuística: Foi relatado um caso de uma gestante portadora de AT, através da análise de prontuário e de exames complementares, sendo realizado o pré-natal pelas equipes de Obstetrícia e Reumatologia, onde foi realizado tratamento clínico com corticoides, mostrando uma evolução satisfatória, ocorrendo apenas uma hospitalização que foi seguida de uma cesárea na trigésima sexta semana de gravidez, com recém nato saudável de 3.810g. Discussão: A AT pode estar associada a várias etiologias, sendo a gênese pouco conhecida. O diagnóstico na maioria das vezes é demorado, pela dificuldade da suspeita clínica, além de demandar o uso de técnicas de imagem mais sofisticadas. A gestação associada é fenômeno raro, já que as portadoras são orientadas a evitarem a gravidez. O controle clínico permitiu uma gestação sem grandes complicações e serviu como meio para levar a gestação até praticamente o fim do terceiro trimestre. Conclusão: Deve-se ressaltar o papel do acompanhamento clínico, especialmente com esta pan-arterite, mostrando os medicamentos que podem ser utilizados nesse grupo, especialmente quando se usava imunossupressores antes da gravidez. Palavras chave: Arterite de Takayasu, Gravidez, Vasculite. ABSTRACT:Introduction: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) consists of a vascular disease of unknown origin and chronic nature, which affects the aorta and its main branches. In pregnant women it is a complex condition, in which the clinical treatment is performed with restrictions. The use of corticosteroids has been favorable to control inflammation, especially in those cases when immunosuppressant had been used before pregnancy. Case Report: A case of a pregnant patient with TA has been reported through the analysis of medical records and laboratory tests. The Obstetrics and Rheumatology staff performed the prenatal care, and clinical treatment with corticosteroids was done showing a satisfactory outcome. There was only one hospitalization of the patient, which was followed by a cesarean in the thirty sixth week of pregnancy.  The newborn was a healthy one, weighing 3.810g. Discussion: TA may be associated with several etiologies, and the genesis is little known. The diagnosis most often takes time due to the difficulty of clinical suspicion, and requires the use of more sophisticated imaging techniques. The pregnancy is rare phenomenon, since the carriers are advised to avoid pregnancy. The clinical management allowed a pregnancy without major complications and served as a means to carry the pregnancy to almost the end of the third quarter. Conclusion: The role of the clinical follow-up should be noticed especially with this pan-arteritis, showing the drugs that can be used in this group, especially when there is use of immunosuppressive drugs before pregnancy. Keywords: Takayasu Arteritis, Pregnancy, Vasculitis.

Background: Wandering spleen (WS) is an uncommon splenic disorder defined as the displacement of the spleen from its usual anatomical position. It is most prevalent in females in their reproductive age. It can be encountered incidentally or may present with symptoms. Risks of complications exist and vary with the presentation. Several imaging techniques are able to define it clearly preoperatively. Laparoscopic surgery is the definitive diagnostic and therapeutic method. Case Report: A 24-year-old pregnant female patient presented to the Emergency Department complaining of intermittent dull abdominal pain and pelvic heaviness for 9 days. Contrast- Enhanced Computed Tomography and a color Doppler sonography of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large-sized spleen in the pelvis corresponding to a diagnosis of WS, without ischemic signs. The patient underwent a laparoscopic splenectomy and was vaccinated for Haemophilus influenza, meningococcus, and pneumococcus postoperatively. The post-operative period was uneventful, and the patient later delivered a full-term baby girl by a Cesarean section. Conclusion: This is, to the best of our knowledge, the second reported case of laparoscopic splenectomy in a pregnant patient with WS. While splenopexy is associated with better outcomes, splenectomy seems to be preferred in pregnant patients, who may undergo a vaginal delivery, but guidelines and data are still scarce regarding the management of WS in pregnancy. Vaccination against encapsulated bacteria is required in case of splenectomy
