[Medical interruption of pregnancy for severe Takayasu's disease, about two cases]

Takayasu's arteritis is a rare clinical entity characterized by a progressive obliteration of the aortic arch and the main vessels arising from it. The association with a pregnancy may lead to some maternal and fetal complications. Nevertheless, a normal outcome of pregnancy is not rare if a careful follow-up is provided. We report the observations of two patients who underwent a medical interruption of pregnancy in the department of obstetrics and gynecology "A" of Charles Nicolle hospital in Tunis because of a severe multi-visceral localization of Takayasu's arteritis.
