AbstractTakayasu's arteritis, known as “pulseless disease,” is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease, which has a greater predilection for large vasculature in the body. Initially described in the1800s, this rare condition is more commonly seen in Asian women in 40 years age group. Herein, the authors report the case of a 36-year-old woman whose exertional claudication was the initial manifestation of active Takayasu's arteritis along with involvement of multiple peripheral arteries not involving ostial area of the vessels, instead affecting the proximal area and also presenting with thrombosis of right CIA (common iliac artery), which is an unusual presentation in case of Takayasu's arteritis without aneurysmal involvement.

Takayasu arteritis, formerly known as “pulseless disease”, is a chronic idiopathic vasculitis which affects the large vessels in the body. First described in the 1800’s, this rare condition is more commonly found in Asian women in their 40’s. Herein, we report the case of a young woman whose exertional angina and claudication were the initial presentation of active Takayasu arteritis. The importance of modern technology of imaging such as CT, MRI and angiography, can often have paramount importance for confirming a diagnosis and the extent of the pathology. Newer modalities of investigation helps in evaluation of vascular involvement and its haemodynamic effects on cardiovascular system. Previously majority of patient had to be diagnosed clinically. Now a days by CT peripheral Angiogram this disease can be diagnosed. Invasive procedure of peripheral Angiogram is troublesome but single IV dye injection can revealed the actual scenario. So it has got important scientific value.Bangladesh Heart Journal 2015; 30(2) : 92-95

Takayasu's arteritis or pulseless disease is a chornic large vessel vasculities the cause of which is largely unknown. Takayasu's arterities is seldom reported, because it is a rare disease affecting about only 3 (three) people of every million indivisuals throughout the world, most commonly among Asian female of childbearing age. It rarely causes happertension in children. We present an 11 years old girl without typical symptomatic manifestation and with a unique presentation of headache & swelling of the body for one year. She also complainted of examinational dyspnoea for same duration and abdominal pain for six months. Her clinical examination revealed very feeble left upper limb pulse with no radio-femoral delay, different blood pressure of both arms and limbs, systolic bruits audible in left 2nd intercostal space and grade-1 apical pansystolic murmur. Her coronary angiogram report showed diffuse narrowing of a long segment of abdominal aorta, severe stenosis of proximal left subclavian artery and stenosed right renal artery. In this article we will describe a Takayasu's arteritis (TA), a rare cause of childhood hypertension. Keywords: Takayasu's arteritis (TA);Vasculitis; Hypertension.

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.
