Abstract:
Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteriopathy of unknown etiology involving mainly the aorta and the large arteries arising from its arch. It is characteristically a disease of young females of Oriental descent. It causes occlusion, coarctation or aneurysmal dilatation of the affected vessels. We report, with the review of the literature, a patient with Takayasu's arteritis who developed the cerebrovascular disease.
