  • Title: Lessons of the month 2: Retinal vasculitis: a first presentation of Takayasu's arteritis.
    Author: Ibrahim H, D'souza S, Agorogiannis E, Ali A, Bashar N, Pearce I, Madhusudhan S.
    Journal: Clin Med (Lond); 2021 Nov; 21(6):e673-e676. PubMed ID: 34862233.
    Abstract:
    Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic, systemic, large-vessel vasculitis affecting the aorta and its primary branches. However, coronary, renal and pulmonary arteries and small vessel involvement has been documented. We describe a rare case of Takayasu's arteritis with extensive supra-aortic arch disease, manifesting with bilateral occlusive retinal vasculitis as a first presentation. This is elicited by fundus findings of vascular sheathing and fundus fluoresceine angiography evidence of retinal vessel occlusion and peripheral capillary non-perfusion.
