“…They include retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retinal glial cells in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), vascular endothelium, fibroblasts, and macrophages in retinal vasoproliferative disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and vascular occlusions and blood cellular components in inflammatory disorders.

The availability of tissue specimen in active stages of the disease is quite unlikely because it is a disease of young healthy persons and involves the retinal periphery in its early stages.…”

Ocular symptoms can be the presenting manifestation of Takayasu arteritis (TA) or could be indicative of disease reactivation. A review of published literature related to posterior segment manifestations of TA by using the keywords “Takayasu arteritis,” “ophthalmic manifestations,” “retina,” “retinopathy,” “ocular,” “optic nerve,” and “optic neuropathy” was performed. In total, 62 case reports and 12 case series were included. The majority of the articles were from Asia (n = 47, 64%). Females outnumbered males in the ratio of 7:1. The mean age of patients was 33 years (range: 8–78 years, SD: 13.5 years). In 58% (n = 41 out of 71) cases, ocular symptoms were the presenting manifestation of the underlying disease. Hypotensive retinopathy was found in 70% of eyes, and hypertensive retinopathy was found in 27%. The mean presenting visual acuity (VA) was +1.03 logMAR (range: −0.12 to 3, SD: 1.07), and at the final follow-up was +1.02 logMAR (range: −0.12 to 3, SD 1.17). VA improved in 34% (n = 29/86), remained stable in 45% (39/86), and worsened in 21% (18/86). The mean follow-up was 9 months (range: 0.5–204, SD: 16 months).

The frequency of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) has been estimated to be 2.9 cases per 1 million people, with a female preponderance, although female-to-male ratio varies from different geographic areas. A high frequency of haplotype A24-B52-DR2 has been found in Japanese patients, without this association in other populations. TA has a striking predilection for the aortic arch and its branches. Evidence favors an autoimmune pathogenesis. Segmental inflammation (active and inactive lesions) may coexist. Due to its enhanced resolution, magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography eventually will replace catheterization angiography. Mortality reduction with glucocorticoid treatment has not been firmly established.
