BACKGROUND Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease of the aorta and/or its major branches and more frequently affects female patients before menopause. Since persistent inflammation may lead to arterial ischemia, hypertension is an important complication of TA. OBJECTIVES To evaluate gestational results and complications in patients with TA. METHODS We c...

Although aortic aneurysms associated with Takayasu arteritis are not rare, a total occlusion of the thoracoabdominal aorta enlargement is rare. We have experienced 60-year-old man who underwent second-stage surgery for aneurysm nine years after prior operation an ascending aorta-abdominal bypass atypical coarctation due to arteritis. present successful case treatment result 4 years’ follow-up.

introduction: the important sequelae of facial nerve palsy are synkinesis, asymmetry, hypertension and contracture; all of which have psychosocial effects on patients. synkinesis due to mal regeneration causes involuntary movements during a voluntary movement. previous studies have advocated treatment using physiotherapy modalities alone or with exercise therapy, but no consensus exists on the ...

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare chronic vasculitis with particular predilection for the aorta and its major branches. The precipitant factor of the pathological immune response is generally unknown and different factors have been implicated, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. We report the case of a 46 year old woman who complained of a right hemicranial headache for a we...

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of large arteries which progressively develop stenosis, occlusion or aneurismal degeneration. Proinflammatory cytokines and, among these, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) are increased and play a pathogenetic role in the development of disease. Conventional therapy often fails to determine clinical remission and, in these cases, p...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder defined by clinical criteria that include signs and symptoms produced raised tension (headache, papilloedema vision loss), normal CSF composition with no other cause of evident on neuroimaging. The most common symptom IIH headache; the sign visual field loss. Here, we report case which presented without headache, loss complete ophthalmopl...
