Takayasu's arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that causes inflammation of the large arteries, including the aorta and its branches. It is more common in females under 30 years old, especially in Asia. Symptoms vary depending on the arteries affected but may include reduced or absent pulses, headache, dizziness, and visual issues. Diagnosis is made through arteriography showing long segment irregular narrowing or areas of dilation in the affected arteries. Treatment involves glucocorticoids and other immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation, along with blood pressure medications and surgery to repair arterial stenosis or aneurysms.
