Abstract:
We report a case of Takayasu arteritis (TA) in the acute stage. The case is unique in two points. First, the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis was initially suspected from a subtle finding on plain radiography. Second, thickening of the aortic and pulmonary arterial walls was demonstrated by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in the acute non-pulseless stage of the disease.
