Abstract
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an uncommon chronic granulomatous inflammatory disease often affecting the aorta and its branches. Early diagnosis is quite challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and unfamiliarity with the disease. We hereby present a case of a young female patient diagnosed with Type V Takayasu arteritis using several radiological imaging modalities such as color and spectral Doppler study and computed tomography angiography. A timely diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis however may improve the outcome such as irreversible target organ damage and poor prognosis with a decreased rate of complications.
