Background The diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis still represents a big challenge, even though the disease was first described more than 100 years ago. Proof that is continuing effort to develop criteria with high specificity and sensitivity. 1 Objectives aim study describe clinical paraclinical aspects at time diagnosis. Additionally, we wanted evaluate damage score in view delay. Methods We ret...

Takayasu arteritis can have myriads of presentation, depending on site and extent of disease. As no age is immune for this disease, it is important to keep a high index of suspicion, otherwise the diagnosis can be missed. We hereby describe a case of Takayasu arteritis, which presented as dilated cardiomyopathy.

Childhood Takayasu arteritis is one of the most common vasculitis in paediatric age group. It predominantly involves greater vessels such as aorta and its branches, leading to granulomatous inflammation. The process inflammation gives rise symptoms based on thrombotic or aneurysmal phenomena. This a case report 11-year-old girl diagnosed an urban tertiary care centre India with childhood arteri...

BACKGROUND With recent advances in endovascular treatment, percutaneous endoluminal angioplasty has become particularly attractive for arterial lesions of Takayasu arteritis. However, data came from case reports or small series, and the long-term outcome has not been reported. The incidence of potential vascular complications after surgery or endovascular treatment is still to be determined. ...

Abstract Renal Auto transplantation (RAT) is the surgical procedure in which kidney initially removed and subsequently re-implanted a different position, allowing for improved outcomes conditions involving ureteral pathology, renovascular neoplastic disease primarily. In this paper, we aim to build upon understanding of RAT especially its effectiveness treating patients with hypertension second...

Abstract Background Isolated sphenoid sinus disease (ISSD) is a rare, often misdiagnosed condition of the paranasal sinus. If left untreated, it can lead to complications involving pituitary gland, cavernous sinus, neurologic, and vascular structures nearby. Case report We present case 60-year-old female with history severe left-sided headache, facial pain, diplopia, lateral rectus palsy. She w...

AIMS The assessment of the distribution and activity of vessel wall inflammation is clinically important in patients with Takayasu arteritis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a useful tool, but the clinical utility of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in Takayasu arteritis has yet to be determined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utility of LGE in assessing vessel wall infla...

two hundred and twenty-eight patients who had developed bell's palsy were investigated in a prospective study. among them, 55% were male and 45% were female. the most common age of the disease onset was the third and beginning of the fourth decade of life. we found definite correlation between bell's palsy, hypertension, and diabetes its recurrence rate was 9%. the most important comp...

UNLABELLED Vasculitis is defined as inflammation and necrosis with leukocytic infiltration of the blood vessel wall. Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteritis that primarily involves the aorta and its main branches. A 64-year-old female patient with a 2-month history of fever of unknown origin was presented to our clinic for F-18 FDG PET/CT imaging. Baseline PET/CT images demonstra...
