Özet:

Takayasu Arteritis (TA), also known as pulsless disease, can manifest itself with mild symptoms or cause severe complications depending on the progression of the disease. TA primarily involves large arteries such as carotid, subclavian, vertebral, renal and aorta. It is a chronic vasculitis that can also involve the coronary and pulmonary arteries. There may be delays in diagnosis since it initially presents with nonspecific findings such as fever, weakness, night sweats, weight loss, myalgia, dizziness and syncope. Therefore, awareness of vasculitis is important especially in young women. In this case, we aimed to present our patient who was admitted to the hospital with a persistent epileptic seizure and followed up in the intensive care unit for mechanical ventilation support. Then he has been diagnosed with TA during his clinical management.
