Introduction: Takayasu's disease (TD) (pulseless disease, aortic arch syndrome) is a rare but potentially life-threatening chronic giant cell vasculitis. The major complications attributed to the disease include Takayasu's retinopathy, secondary hypertension, aortic regurgitation, and arterial aneurysm. The aim of this study is to describe a patient with Takayasu's disease and scleritis and to show its association. Case report: We describe a 44-year-old female patient with Takayasu's disease who presented with bilateral anterior scleritis in the form of painful red eye. Patient did not have any associated autoimmune diseases. Patient was diagnosed to have TD and was treated with immunosuppressant. Conclusion: Scleritis though rare can be a vasculitic feature of TD. This is a first report of Takayasu's disease with scleritis, which has been documented in Nepal.

“…Ocular findings include microaneurysms, ocular ischemia and neovascular glaucoma 2. Retinopathy in Takayasu disease has been staged through milder stages of distension of veins and micro-aneurysms, to arterio-venous anastomoses and severe vision threatening ocular complications 3. In our case, presence of retinal micro-aneurysms and facial palsy alerted us to the possibility of arteritis related ischemia.…”

“…Ocular manifestations of Takayasu disease include Takayasu retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy and rarely ocular ischaemia. Ocular ischaemia is due to the hypoperfusion by the ophthalmic artery which leads to chronic anterior and posterior segments ischaemia 4. Generally ocular manifestations appear late in Takayasu arteritis.…”

A 22-year-old lady presented with gradually progressive visual loss and chronic pain in both the eyes of 3 months duration. The clinical examination and fundus fluorescein angiography were suggestive of bilateral ocular ischaemic syndrome. Her upper limb pulses were feeble and blood pressure was not recordable in the same. Carotid Doppler revealed a bilateral carotid artery occlusion. Systemic markers for inflammation were elevated. Diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis was made on the basis of clinical and laboratory findings.Takayasu arteritis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ocular ischaemic syndrome, particularly in young Asian women.

Ocular Manifestations of Takayasu Arteritis

Abstract: Disease- and treatment-related ocular complications are not infrequent in Takayasu arteritis. Arteritis involving the aortic arch and its branches favors the development of ischemic ocular complications.
