Introduction:-
Takayasu arteritis (TA), which was first described in 1908, is now
acknowledged as an inflammatory disease of unknown origin that primarily
affects the aorta and its main branches, pulmonary arteries, and
coronary arteries in young females 1. The disease is
characterized by inflammatory infiltrates involving all layers of the
arteries, including acute exudative inflammation and chronic
granulomatous inflammation primarily located in the media and adventitia
along with hyperplasia and neovascularization of the intimal layer2. The wide range of clinical presentations associated
with Takayasu arteritis makes its diagnosis challenging. This case study
aims to illustrate the clinical features, diagnostic assessment, and
treatment approach for Takayasu arteritis in a 22-year-old female
presenting with neurological symptoms.
