| Descripción: | Takayasu arteritis is a vasculitis which affects women mainly between the 2nd and 3rd decade of life. Currently, the tools that are the most important to diagnose Takayasu arteritis are computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and ultrasound. This report presents the case of a patient with a chronic history of asthenia, hypertension that was never studied by a secondary cause, febrile sensation of nocturnal predominance, lipothymias, and blurred vision. She is later diagnosed with Takayasu's Disease. The different imaging techniques to make the diagnosis are described and interpreted in this report. |
