  • Title: Takayasu's arteritis-associated aneurysm formation without steno-occlusive lesions.
    Author: Boki KA, Pakas J, Kekatou K, Kataxaki E, Papapavlou E.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 2000; 19(3):226-8. PubMed ID: 10870660.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of a 20-year-old woman with Takayasu's arteritis (TA) presenting with recurrent erythema nodosum-like lesions, elevated acute-phase proteins and aortographic findings of multiple aneurysmal dilatations of the aorta without the coexistence of steno-occlusive lesions. This finding indicates that aneurysms could be an early manifestation of TA and not necessarily a change secondary to stenotic lesions.
