“…Most series reveal that 85% of cases are women, although the gender association has been shown to vary with geographic location [ 4 ]. The distribution of the disease is more common in Japan and the Indian subcontinent, but studies have shown an increasing incidence in Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia [ 3 ].…”

“…Infrequently, the destruction of the elastica and muscularis layer may result in artery dilation and aneurysm, where most aneurysms occur in the ascending aorta and the subclavian arteries, and multiple aneurysmal involvements of the subclavian axillary, abdominal aortoiliac, lower extremity, and coronary arteries in TAK are extremely rare [ 3 ]. The aim of this case report is to describe the clinical importance and management of multiple aneurysms in TAK.…”

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a form of large vessel vasculitis that may lead to fibrosis, stenosis, or aneurysm formation of vessels. Its presentation varies depending on the arterial beds involved. We report 3 cases out of around 150 cases of TA with rare initial presentations of brachial plexopathy caused by an axillary artery aneurysm, complicated type A intramural hematoma, and renal artery aneurysms along with abdominothoracic TA presenting as a pulsatile abdominal mass.

Takayasu arteritis is an inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology affecting large vessels. Medium vessel involvement is also well documented; however, neuropathy as a presenting manifestation is rare. In this case report, a young woman in her 20s presented with an 8-month history of intermittent claudication in the right upper limb progressing to rest pain with allodynia in C5–C8 distribution and painless right axillary mass. On examination, she had absent pulses in the right radial, brachial and subclavian artery with audible bruit in the right subclavian and abdominal aorta. CT angiogram showed features suggestive of Takayasu arteritis with a partially thrombosed aneurysm arising from the right axillary artery leading to compression of the right brachial plexus. This patient received treatment with methotrexate and oral corticosteroids. At 3 months follow-up, there was a reduction in the size of the aneurysm, resolution of compressive symptoms and normalisation of inflammatory markers.
