“…The inflammation results in varying degrees of stenosis, occlusion, or dilatation of the afflicted arteries. Since Mikito Takayasu, a Japanese ophthalmologist, officially reported the disease in 1908 [ 11 ], a great deal has been learnt about the condition, even if the actual cause and pathophysiology are still unclear. Furthermore, the symptoms might range from fever, ineptitude, and weight loss to potentially fatal hyponatremia, hypoglycemia, and cardiac failure.…”

The aorta and its main branches are affected by the uncommon systemic vasculitis known as Takayasu's arteritis (TA). The gradual onset of the disease and early, very generalised symptoms may factor in the large delay in diagnosis and treatment. This is an interesting case report of a patient with the rare condition of TA, who was unaware of her disease. Her ailment was diagnosed during antenatal examination, and this report speaks of her further imminent management without any adverse effects on maternal or foetal outcomes. To enhance maternal and foetal prognosis, gynaecologists, cardiologists, radiologists, and neurologists must work together collaboratively. Here is a case study of a woman who had TA and bravely defied the condition's whims to give birth without issue.

Background. Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare, chronic, inflammatory, progressive, idiopathic arteriopathy, afflicting young women of reproductive age group, causing narrowing, occlusion, and aneurysms of systemic and pulmonary arteries, especially the aorta and its branches. During pregnancy, such patients warrant special attention. An interdisciplinary collaboration of obstetricians, cardiologists, and neurologists is necessary to improve maternal and fetal prognosis. Here a case is reported where a patient with diagnosis of TA, complicated by neurological sequelae, successfully fought the vagaries of the condition twice to deliver uneventfully. Case. 25-year-old G2P1L1 presented at 34 weeks of gestation, with chronic hypertension, with TA, with epilepsy, and with late-onset severe IUGR. Following a multidisciplinary approach, she delivered an alive born low birth weight baby (following induction). Her postpartum course remained uneventful. Conclusion. Pregnancy with TA poses a stringent challenge to an obstetrician. Despite advancements in cardiovascular management and advent of new-fangled drugs, the optimal management for pregnant patients with this disease still remains elusive.

Introduction: Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare systemic, chronic inflammatory, progressive, idiopathic disease of aorta and its main branches. Takayasu's arteritis causes narrowing, occlusion and aneurysm of arteries. The etiology of TA is still unknown. It may be autoimmune or genetic in origin or infective diseases. It is commonly found in Asia and oriental countries. Worldwide annual incidence is 1.2 -2.6 cases/million. Women are affected in 80% -90% of cases with age of onset below 40 years. TA does not worsen or improve with pregnancy but has adverse effect on pregnancy in the form of abortion, Intrauterine fetal death, superimposed preeclampsia, Intrauterine growth restriction, abruption and congestive heart failure. Because the disease is common in women of childbearing age, management of pregnancy in these patients becomes important; however optimal management for pregnant patients with this disease has not yet been established. Due to the manifold cardiovascular complications that can occur in the course of the disease, management of pregnancies in TA patients is a challenge for the clinician. An interdisciplinary collaboration of obstetrician, rheumatologist, cardiologist and anaesthetist is necessary to improve maternal and fetal prognosis. This was the first reported case of TA in pregnancy in Hasan Sadikin Hospital with superimposed preeclampsia and pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: The patient, G1P0A0 was diagnosed as TA since one year ago, and when the patient was pregnant, the patient routinely came to obstetric and rheumatology clinics. Angiographic examination showed dilatation of aorta ascendant, narrowing of aorta descendent at 8 thoracal vertebrae, and arcus aorta, abdominal aorta and the branches were without abnormalities that lead to type IIb TA. On physical examination blood pressure was 200/100 mmHg How to cite this paper: Permadi, W.,
