Abstract

Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare, idiopathic, stenotic, chronic granulomatous vasculitis with a strong predilection for the aorta and its major branches. This report is about a 30 -year-old lady who presented with headache, body aches, bilateral progressive vision loss, hair loss, pain abdomen and multiple skin ulcers. Her vascular findings suggested inflammatory vascular granulomatous disease. She would later be diagnosed as having Takayasu's arteritis.
