First case of childhood Takayasu arteritis with renal artery aneurysms

چکیده
Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel systemic granulomatous vasculitis characterized by stenosis or obliteration of large and medium sized arteries. It commonly involves elastic arteries such as the aorta and its main branches. Renal artery involvement is rare and has not been reported in a child. We report a 12-year-old boy with Takayasu arteritis who developed severe hypertension, proteinuria, microscopic hematuria and renal dysfunction. Conventional angiography demonstrated aneurysms of both renal arteries and multiple microaneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery. This case report illustrates that the children with Takayasu arteritis can develop renal involvement resulting in hematuria, proteinuria and even renal failure.

We report a case of a 9-year-old boy with multiple aneurysms in carotid and iliac arteries, subclavian and coronary arteries, and abdominal aorta.

JVIR 2000; 11:997–1004 ANEURYSMS in childhood are rare. In the thoracic aorta, they are usually associated with coarctation of the aorta or congenital aortic valvular disease. Aneurysms of the abdominal aorta, especially if multiple, may be due to an inherent defect of collagen biosynthesis, in particular collagen III in the arterial form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Rarer causes include infectio...
