Accident vasculaire cérébral ischémique révélant une maladie de Takayasu

Takayasu's disease is a non specific, chronic, inflammatory panarteritis. It affects the aorta, its chief collaterals and the pulmonary arteries. Clinical manifestations depend on the site and the severity of the occlusive vascular lesion. We report a case observed in a young woman who presented ischemic stroke as the inaugural sign of Takayasu's disease.
