    Author: Magott-Derkacz A, Jazwiec P, Derkacz A, Całka K, Majowski J.
    Journal: Przegl Lek; 2007; 64(6):442-4. PubMed ID: 18159856.
    Abstract:
    Takayasu disease is a syndrome of unknown etiology having an immunological basis and appearing mainly in young women. It leads to characteristic changes in arteries as confirmed by diagnostic imaging methods. The case of a 51-year-old woman with recognized Takayasu's disease and stenocardial complaints arising from atheroma of the coronary arteries is presented. Computed tomography angiography examination showed changes typical for both Takayasu's disease and atherosclerosis. The potential influence of the inflammation appearing in Takayasu's disease on atheroma is discussed. The clinical signs accompanying Takayasu's disease and diagnostic imaging methods for their detection are presented.
