Takayasu arteritis is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches. The clinical manifestations in paediatric patients are less specific than in adults: in children the disease presents with fever, arthralgias and hypertension. Intramural inflammation results in narrowing of the blood vessel lumen and therefore hypoperfusion of the parenchyma. Conventional angiography is the gol...

oral lesions of tb have frequently been reported but its probable association with arteritis has rarely been noted. a 57 year old woman is presented here with chronic headache associated with oral lesion of tb.

We report a case of a ruptured aortic arch aneurysm due to Takayasu arteritis concomitant with entero-Behçet disease. A 53-year-old woman with total left lung atelectasis underwent emergency total aortic arch replacement with a modified Bentall operation and elephant trunk procedure. The postoperative course was highly eventful. A pseudoaneurysm of the left coronary button occurred with mediast...

case presentation we reported a 2-year-old boy with pph, who presented unusual and intractable seizure which suggested the diagnosis of md. we also reviewed a few previous reports about the association of pph with moyamoya disease. discussion moyamoya disease is a kind of cerebral vasculopathy and should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients with unusual seizure attacks who are...

IL: interleukin PG: pyoderma gangrenosum TA: Takayasu arteritis INTRODUCTION Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a type of neutrophilic dermatosis that shows noninfectious ulcers characterized by neutrophil infiltration of the skin. PG is frequently associatedwith systemic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and hematologic disorders. In Japan, PG is also awellknown comp...

Takayasu arteritis is a large vessel vasculitis with various clinical presentations depending on the territories affected. We report the case of a 47-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Takayasu arteritis following rapid progression of coronary disease. The condition evolved rapidly under corticosteroid therapy, with formation of new arterial stenoses within the carotid and splanchnic circula...

Large vessel vasculitides, such as Takayasu arteritis and giant cell arteritis, affect vital arteries and cause clinical complications by either luminal occlusion or vessel wall destruction. Inflammatory infiltrates, often with granulomatous arrangements, are distributed as a panarteritis throughout all of the artery's wall layers or cluster in the adventitia as a perivasculitis. Factors determ...

Introduction. Takayasu arteritis is a rare disease affecting the aorta and its main branches, causing arterial claudication and end-organ ischemia, including stroke. The etiology is unknown but is believed to be autoimmune. An association between Takayasu arteritis and tuberculosis has been suggested, but the possible relation is unclear. Case Presentation. A 15-year-old Somali boy was diagnose...

PURPOSE Takayasu arteritis is an indication for bypass surgery when this condition results in severe cerebrovascular ischemia due to occlusion of the carotid arteries. We reviewed the patients with Takayasu arteritis who received aorto-carotid bypass due to cerebrovascular ischemia. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on 19 patients with Takayasu arteritis who underwent aorto-carotid...

A patient with Takayasu arteritis with multiple supra-aortic lesions underwent successful treatment with two-staged stent implantation. Stenotic bilateral common carotid, innominate, and left subclavian arteries were dilated, and no restenosis was observed during the follow-up period of 2 years despite recurrent inflammation. Stenting for supra-aortic vessels in cases of Takayasu arteritis has ...
