  • Title: Abdominal pain as the initial presentation of Takayasu arteritis.
    Author: Sasae Y, Morita Y, Sakuta T, Satoh M, Sasaki T, Kashihara N.
    Journal: Mod Rheumatol; 2008; 18(5):496-8. PubMed ID: 18463944.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal pain is rarely described as a clinical manifestation of Takayasu arteritis, although abdominal vascular involvement is common in this disease. We report the case of a 20-year-old female with Takayasu arteritis who complained of chronic and intermittent abdominal pain. Computed tomographic angiography and ultrasonography were useful in evaluating the abdominal arterial involvement. Takayasu arteritis must be considered one of the underlying diseases that may cause chronic abdominal pain in young females.
