Abstract :

Takayasu’s arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily involves the aorta and its main anches. Varying degrees of narrowing, occlusion, or dilatation develop in the involved vessel segments. We report a case of 21 year old female who had Headache (holocranial) which was on and off, throbbing type since 3 months, Intermittent low grade fever since 3 months, Palpitation on and off since 3 months. We investigated the patient, USG Abdomen & Pelvis, Aorta and Renal Doppler study & CT Aortogram was done. Involvement of Abdominal aorta, Right renal artery and Right subclavian artery was seen. Hence the diagnosis of Takayasu Arteritis Type 4 was made.
