Takayasus arteritis primarily affects young women. Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a type of primary systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the medium and large arteries. The signs and symptoms are due to systemic inflammation or ischemia of an organ or limb and include angiodynia, claudication, peripheral pulselessness, murmurs, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction and severe systemic arterial hypertension. The disease tends to affect more women than men.The current case of Takayasu arteritis type V focuses on a 21 year female who complained of cold, cough, fever, facial puffiness since 2 months, along with bilateral renal artery stenosis, and resistant hypertension.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a type of primary systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the medium and large arteries. The signs and symptoms are due to systemic inflammation or ischemia of an organ or limb and include angiodynia, claudication, peripheral pulselessness, murmurs, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction and severe systemic arterial hypertension. The disease tends to affect more women than men. Here we present a case of TA in a 22-year-old male patient. Our patient presented with complaints of aphasia and right-sided weakness, with on-and-off symptoms of malaise, generalized weakness, unilateral headache, fatigue and shortness of breath lasting two years. Color Doppler ultrasound was sufficient for a diagnosis of TA, after which we started the patient on medical treatment and also consulted the department of vascular surgery. Overall, this case report highlights the importance of screening for TA in male patients so that the diagnosis is not overlooked, and also adds more data to the limited literature on male patients.

Research relevance: among Kyrgyz patients with Takayasu arteritis (AT), young women were predominated. The etiology is unknown. Research objectives: observation of the clinical manifestations in Takayasu’s arteritis in patients with the aim of compiling a diagnosis in treatment of disease. Research methods: most of patients had anatomical type V Takayasu arteritis (61.3%), vascular stage (89.3%) and severe stenosis (54.7%), lesions of the brachiocephalic trunk (68%), common sleepyheads (57.3%) and renal (52%) arteries. Severe exacerbation of the disease was observed in 82.7% of patients. The presence of ≥2 complications worsened the prognosis of AT. Research results: the clinical manifestations of AT were characterized mainly by cardiovascular pathology (77.3%) and kidney damage (57.3%). Conclusions: more than one third of patients (37.3%) had late diagnosis of AT.

Takayasu arteritis is a disease of unknown etiology which is a primary systemic vasculitis leading to stenotic and occlusive changes. Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease in progressive pattern which chiefly affects the aorta and its main branches. The diagnosis of the disease is mainly based on the clinical suspicion, history, physical examination and vascular imaging. We present here three cases of takayasu arteritis in pregnancy that were treated at our institute in the last 5 years. 1st case had complications like severe preeclampsia, abruption, temporary loss of vision, and intra uterine death of fetus. In 2nd case there was brain sparing effect of fetus, but other than that she did not have any other complications and neonatal outcome was also good without any neonatal complications. In the 3rd case antenatal and postnatal periods were uneventful and with good neonatal outcome. Pregnancy with takayasu arteritis needs to be timely diagnosed and treated for best maternal and fetal outcome.

Hypertension In Children

Three children with renovascular hypertension are presented in order to demonstrate the wide clinical spectrum of this disease. Two patients had relatively minor symptoms, but one with neurofibromatosis showed frank hypokalemia, polyuria, and hyponatremia. Three different anatomical lesions were found: bilateral renal artery stenosis in the patient with neurofibromatosis, fibromuscular hyperplasia in the patient with stenosis of one renal artery, and an isolated malformation of one small intrarenal artery. The last of our patients presented a complicated diagnostic problem which required repeated arteriograms and renal vein catheterizations for differential renin assay. Renovascular hypertension should be excluded in any pediatric patient with otherwise unexplained hypertension.

Abstract Takayasu’s arteritis (TAK) is a systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the aorta and its first branches. The initial presentation can be very non-specific while its sequelae can be debilitating and fatal. Apart from clinical and biochemical tests, imaging studies remain pivotal for the diagnosis of this rare disease. Delay in treatment may result in vascular stenosis, leading to morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a young woman who presented with anemia with no obvious causes. Subsequently she developed ischemic symptoms and the diagnosis of TAK was established with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Our case illustrates the importance of recognition of the possibility of TAK in young women who presented with non-specific systemic upset and anemia of chronic inflammation. A high index of suspicion is needed and imaging studies should be considered early. The treatment of TAK will also be briefly reviewed.
