Abstract
Takayasu’s disease (non-specific aorto-arteritis) is a chronic, idiopathic, inflammatory disease that primarily affects large vessels, such as the aorta and its major branches, including the pulmonary and coronary arteries. It often develops in women under the age of 50 years. Accurate and early diagnosis plays an important role in the prognosis of life in patients with this pathology. Complaints of patients with lesions of the aorta and its branches are non-specific in nature and are characterized by fever, night sweats, malaise and arthralgia, passing under the “mask” of other diseases. With the progression of the disease, stenoses or aneurysms occur in the arteries, which leads to ischemia of the limbs and internal organs, manifested by the corresponding clinical manifestations.
The article presents the observation of aorto-arteritis Takayasu type V (generalized variant) in the woman of 26 years.
