    Abstract:
    Arterial aneurysms are most commonly (60% of cases) located in the infrarenal abdominal aorta. An inflammatory mechanism is involved in only 10% of cases. Infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms revealing Takayasu's disease is unusual. Takayasu's disease is a rare vasculitis affecting large arteries in young people. It is 10 times more common in women. We report the case of an acute rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm revealing Takayasu arteritis in a 39-year-old man with an uneventful medical history.
