Abstract

This case describes a rare and complex presentation of Takayasu arteritis, a large vessel vasculitis primarily affecting young females. Unlike typical Takayasu arteritis cases characterized by arterial stenosis, this 34-year-old male presented with an unusually high number of aneurysms affecting the aorta, subclavian arteries, and other segments. This unique abundance of aneurysms complicates diagnosis and management. This disease typically manifests as arterial stenosis, with aneurysms occurring in a minority of cases. The most common site for aneurysms is the ascending aorta, making multifocal aneurysms, as seen in this case, exceptionally rare. Managing multiple aneurysms in Takayasu arteritis is complex, necessitating careful consideration of factors like aneurysm size, morphology, and risk of complications. This case underscores the unique challenges posed by multifocal aneurysms in this condition, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to treatment.
