    Abstract:
    The present report describes a young female patient with acute myocardial infarction and inflammatory lesions limited to proximal and midsegments of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Based on the presence of positive inflammatory markers, an angiographically confirmed coronary artery lesion and the young age of the patient, an atypical presentation of Takayasu arteritis was diagnosed. Le présent article décrit le cas d’une jeune femme ayant subi un infarctus aigu du myocarde et présentant des lésions inflammatoires limitées aux segments proximal et moyen de l’artère interventriculaire antérieure gauche. Compte tenu de la présence confirmée de marqueurs inflammatoires et d’une lésion coronarienne avérée à la coronarographie ainsi que du jeune âge de la patiente, un diagnostic de la maladie de Takayashu atypique a été posé.
