Area of Science:

Cardiovascular Medicine
Neurology
Vascular Surgery

Background:

Aortitis syndrome is a rare inflammatory condition affecting the aorta.
Angina pectoris is typically associated with coronary artery disease.
The relationship between aortitis syndrome and cardiac symptoms requires further investigation.

Observation:

A 57-year-old woman presented with anginal chest pain.
Coronary angiography revealed atherosclerosis, not typical signs of aortitis syndrome.
Cerebral angiography showed a tortuous and dilated right vertebral artery, with other cerebral vessels not visualized.

Findings:

The patient exhibited coronary atherosclerosis and unique cerebral vascular abnormalities.
These findings are rare and not characteristic of typical aortitis syndrome presentations.
The case highlights potential atypical manifestations of aortitis syndrome.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of aortitis syndrome's diverse clinical presentations.
It suggests a potential, though rare, link between aortitis syndrome and angina pectoris.
Further research is warranted to explore the vascular and inflammatory connections in such cases.
