Abstract

Takayasu s arteritis is a rare disease involving inflammation in the walls of the largest arteries in the body: the aorta and its main branches. The disease results autoimmunity which causes inflammation in the arterial wall. Patient symptoms are usually non-specific and include fever, malaise and myalgia. The patient was admitted with abdominal angina and weight loss. We were able to detect a pulse only in the upper extremities. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) revealed stenosis of the descending aorta and mesenteric artery. We diagnosed the patient with Takatasu s arteritis. This case is presented as an example of this rare condition.

Özet

Takayasu arteriti, aorta ve onun büyük dalları gibi geniş arterlerin duvarlarının enflamasyonuyla karakterize nadir görülen bir hastalıktır. Hastalığın sonuçları immün sistemin vucüdun kendi arterinin duvarlarına saldırmasıyla ortaya çıkar. Hastaların başvuru şikayetleri genelde ateş, halsizlik, miyalji gibi nonspesifik semptomlardır. Hastamız abdominal anjina ve kilo kaybıyla tarafımıza başvurdu. Üst ekstremitelerde nabızlar alınıyorken, alt ekstremitelerde nabızlar alınamadı. Manyetik rezonans anjiografide inen aort ve mezenterik arterde stenoz saptandı ve Takaysu arteriti tanısı konuldu. Nadir rastlanması nedeniyle bu olguyu sunuyoruz. Klinik pratikte bu tip olgulara nadir rastladığımız için bu olguyu sunmaya karar verdik
