“…TA was first described by an ophthalmologist, Dr Mikito Takayasou in 1908 [6] . TA is a recognized, but rare form of large vessel vasculitis with high prevalence in countries such as India and Japan [ 3 , 7 ]. TA is also known as the “pulseless disease” or “aortic arch syndrome” and is thought to be of autoimmune origin [4] .…”

“…Rare manifestations of Takayasu's arteritis include brain leptomeningitis, intracranial arteritis, and pyodermagangrenosum. [20][21][22] Recently there has been interest in the role of MRI in Takayasu arteritis as it can detect very early mural changes with better sensitivity and can give useful information about disease activity. 23 [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography has also been proposed to evaluate response to treatment in Takayasu arteritis.…”

Introduction Takayasu’s arteritis, a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory panarteritis, is the major cause of Aortoarteritis in pediatric age group. The purpose of this study is to analyze the patterns of involvement and imaging findings of pediatric Takayasu’s arteritis. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed the CT angiographic images of 11 pediatric cases reported as “Takayasu’s arteritis” or “nonspecific arteritis” over the period of last 3 years. Results Mural thickening with luminal stenosis was the most common findings. Aneurysmal dilatation of the descending thoracic aorta was observed in one case. Vessel stenoses without mural thickening, thrombosis and collateral vessel formation were the other findings. Pattern of involvement ranged from variable involvement of thoracic and abdominal aorta and their branches. Conclusion Awareness of its CT angiographic appearances and distribution pattern can help the clinicians and radiologists to have high index of suspicion in aiding early diagnosis and better management of this disease.
