ABSTRACT

Os autores fazem uma breve revisão de literatura sobre o uso coad-juvante de stents na arterite de Takayasu e apresentam um relato de caso de uma mulher jovem, 27 anos de idade, com quadro de cefaléia holocraniana acompanhada de náuseas, síncopes e tonturas. Concomitantemente apresentou turvação visual e claudicação de membros superiores. Entre as várias possibilidades, aventou-se a hipótese diagnóstica de arterite de Takayasu, confirmada posteriormente, sendo então realizado tratamento coadjuvante através de angioplastia transluminal percutânea com stents.

Simultaneously she suffered blurred sight and claudication of the upper limbs. Among the different diagnostic possibilities, the hypothesis of Takayasu Arteritis was first considered and later confirmed.
