Mort fœtale in utero durant la gestation compliquant une maladie de Takayasu : à propos d'un cas et revue de la littérature

Takayasu's arteritis is a non-specific chronic vasculitis mainly involving the aorta and its main branches. A 37 year-old patient was diagnosed a Takayasu's arteritis during her last pregnancy. Her new pregnancy was characterised by a preeclampsia and an intrauterine growth restriction complicated by an intrauterine fetal death during the second trimester. Takayasu's arteritis is at risk of life-threatening complications for both the mother and the fetus. A multidisciplinary survey is recommended. Currently, management of this disease is unclear and no consensus is available during pregnancy. Trials testing antiplatelet agents and corticosteroids are now needed.
