Abstract

Takayasus arteritis primarily affects young women. Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a type of primary systemic vasculitis mainly affecting the medium and large arteries. The signs and symptoms are due to systemic inflammation or ischemia of an organ or limb and include angiodynia, claudication, peripheral pulselessness, murmurs, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction and severe systemic arterial hypertension. The disease tends to affect more women than men.The current case of Takayasu arteritis type V focuses on a 21 year female who complained of cold, cough, fever, facial puffiness since 2 months, along with bilateral renal artery stenosis, and resistant hypertension.
