ABSTRACT
Takayasu's Arteritis (TA) is a vasculitis of large vessels as well as giant cell arteritis, which is characterized by granulomatous inflammation that most commonly affects women of childbearing age from Asian countries. In this context, neurological manifestation can occur due to stenosis or occlusions of the central nervous system vasculature. Here, we would like to highlight some important topics about the neurologic manifestations that together with the article of El-Shareif lead to a better comprehension of TA.
Keywords: Takayasu's arteritis, vasculitis, neurology
