Abstract

Takayasu arteritis is a rare, chronic large vessel vasculitis of unknown etiology which predominantly affects women younger than 40 years of age. Symptoms are highly variable based on the location and extent of the stenosis, arterial occlusion, aneurysm, and thrombosis. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, relevant laboratory work-up, and imaging findings of wall thickening and stenosis of medium and large vessels. Management includes glucocorticoid therapy, frequently paired with adjunctive immunosuppressants, and sometimes surgical intervention in severe cases. Here, we present a unique case of Takayasu arteritis with critical distal aortic stenosis with very severe wall thickening involving the bilateral common iliac artery and leading to left iliac artery thrombosis. Based on our literature review, our article represents a very rare presentation of Takayasu arteritis with severe iliac artery thrombosis.
