    Abstract:
    Takayasu's, or "pulseless," disease is a rare, idiopathic, chronic granulomatous vasculitis that affects large arterial blood vessels. Ocular manifestations occur as a consequence of obliteration of the carotid artery, and ocular ischemia may develop. A 14-year-old girl with progressive visual loss and ocular ischemic syndrome secondary to Takayasu's disease is described.
