dc.description.abstractTakayasu arteritis is a well-known yet rare form of large vessel vasculitis. Takayasu arteritis affects mainly women, and is most commonly seen in Japan, South East Asia, India, and Mexico, where it usually presents in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life. It is seen usually as pulseless disorder often with bruit at the stenosed arteries. Manifestations range from asymptomatic disease, to catastrophic strokes. Angiography remains the gold standard for diagnosis. Approximately half of those patients treated with steroids will respond, and half of the remaining patients respond to methotrexate; mycophenolatemofetil may be useful. Fertility is not adversely affected and pregnancy does not appear to exacerbate the disease, although management of hypertension is essential. We herewith report a rare case of an11 year old girl, who presented with left-sided hemiparesis, dysarthria, left UMN facial palsy, feeble pulses on right side, high Blood Pressure recordings and positive anti- cardiolipin antibodies. Imaging studies revealed Occluded right Common carotid artery, occluded right subclavian artery and stenotic right renal artery and MRI showed Acute Infarcts in Right Basal Ganglia and Right High Parietal Region, Hemorrhagic infarct in right MCA subcortical area.The diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis with recent cerebrovascular accident (left hemiparesis) with hypertension was made and the patient was started on steroids, anti-platelets, anti-hypertensives and physiotherapy.en_US
