چکیده
Takayasu arteritis is a chronic vasculitis of unknown origin. Its incidence is low in the United States and Europe (1 to 3 new cases per year per million population) (9,17,28). Sporadically, association between Takayasu arteritis and inflammatory bowel disease has been described, both in Crohn’s disease (5-7, 13, 15,17,19,23,29,31,32,38,40,41,43,50,52,54) and ulcerative colitis (1,3,4,8,14,22,25,26,34,36,39,42,45). We report three additional cases of adult female patients with Crohn’s disease and subsequent clinical manifestation of Takayasu arteritis.
