“…The association of TA with perinuclear and cytoplasmic antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) also suggests a role of these autoantibodies in the pathogenesis of the disease [22]. Case reports describing the association of TA with rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, systemic lupus, Crohn disease, sarcoidosis and amyloidosis also emphasize the importance of immune mechanisms in the pathogenesis [23, 24]. …”

Takayasu arteritis is a chronic granulomatous disease of the aorta and its major branches that usually affects women during the second and third decades of life, but it has been reported in young children. This review details the clinical, pathological and radiological features, differential diagnoses and management of the condition, focusing chiefly on the disease in children. The recent definition of Takayasu arteritis is discussed. The condition should be considered in patients with unexplained arterial hypertension or unexplained inflammatory syndromes without signs of localization. Since the disease may be life-threatening and progressive, early recognition is necessary to initiate appropriate therapy. Patients with persistent ischaemic symptoms including hypertension might benefit from revascularization procedures.

“…Our patient also has cerebrovascular risk factors (smoking and hypercholesterol) that may have accelerated arterial occlusion. A connection between Takayasu arteritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and antiphoshpolipid antibody syndrome has been hypothesized in previous cases [19,20].…”

An unusual form of vasculitis involving the dural sinuses and extracranial arteries — A case report

et al. 2011

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) associated with vasculitis has been described only in the context of small vessel angiitis so far. We report on a 30-year-old woman who developed CVT which was followed by progressive occlusion of large extracranial arteries. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) showed evidence for inflammation with pleocytosis and positive oligoclonal bands. Angiography revealed no abnormalities of the aortic arch, but three remaining criteria for Takayasu arteritis were fulfilled. Antiphospholipid antibodies were elevated or within borderline values, possibly indicating the beginning of lupus erythematosus. Because of additional protein S deficiency and increased factor VIII activity, the patient was orally anticoagulated. Immunosuppressive therapy was started with azathioprine. This was followed by a normalization of cell count in CSF. Immunosuppression was changed to methotrexate after acute progression of the occlusive disease. As far as we know this is the first case report with a combination of sinus thrombosis and large vessel arteritis.

“…7 Takayasu arteritis is related to other autoimmune disorders among which are juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and Crohn's disease. 8 The association of pyoderma gangrenosum and Takayasu arteritis has rarely been reported in the Western literature, but is well known in the Japanese population. 9 Our patient presented initially with pyoderma gangrenosum and further investigations revealed the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis.…”

Transcutaneous embolisation of an axillary artery aneurysm in a child with Takayasu arteritis

2019

We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with Takayasu arteritis who developed acute onset wrist drop diagnosed with a large right axillary artery aneurysm compressing the surrounding structures. Our case is unique because it describes a rare presentation of Takayasu arteritis (axillary aneurysm) in a child that was treated successfully in an unconventional manner by transcutaneous embolisation following failure of trans-arterial approach.
