“…The diagnostic delay in c-TA can be four times higher than that in adult TA patients. 11,18 However, this pre-diagnosis lag period is reported to be comparatively less pronounced (2.5-11.3 months) in Indian and Turkish cohorts of c-TA patients. 7,19,20 In the chronic phase of the disease, as inflammation progresses, stenoses develop, and features secondary to arterial occlusion become clinically overt.…”

Childhood-onset Takayasu arteritis (c-TA) is a distinct subset affecting a wide age group, ranging from young infants to adolescents and it differs from adult TA in many aspects. There is scarcity of data on c-TA worldwide. The disease is classified using the European League Against Rheumatism/Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization/Pediatric Rheumatology European Society criteria. The non-specific nature of presenting complaints and lack of appropriate biomarkers delay the early diagnosis of this illness and many children present with complications, which become irreversible once they set in. One of the largest cohorts of 40 children with c-TA from our center reports hypertension as the commonest presenting feature. Systemic symptoms like headache, fever and weight loss are also described. Assessment of disease in c-TA is done by correlating clinical features with raised inflammatory markers. Advanced imaging plays an important role in diagnosis. In c-TA, the role of magnetic resonance angiography is advocated, taking into consideration the enormous amount of radiation exposure with other modalities. Complications of c-TA include cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and those arising secondary to long-term steroid and immunosuppression therapy.

“…Poor co-operation by children also curtails its use in regular clinical practice. 18 FDG-PET is the latest kid on the block in the imaging armamentarium for diagnosis of TA. This modality estimates both the degree and site of inflammation.…”

“…Although more prevalent in Asians than other ethnic groups, the disease is distributed worldwide. In addition to the aortic arch and its branches, the pulmonary arteries are also involved in about 50-80% of the patients (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). A relatively small number of reports have referred to symptomatic events associated with pulmonary artery involvement as the initial manifestation at diagnosis, some detailing symptoms due to pulmonary artery obstruction, such as severe dyspnea, which may mimic pulmonary thromboembolism (5,6,8,9).…”

“…1,7 Four types of Takayasu arteritis can be identified: Type I (disease involving the aortic arch and its branches), type II (lesions restricted to descending thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta), type III (patients have characteristics of types I and II), and type IV (involvement of the pulmonary artery). 8 Our patient had Type-III involvement.…”
