RESUMO
Takayasu arteritis is a chronic inflammatory arteriopathy of unknown etiology affecting large vessels, the aorta and its main branches. We experienced a case of Takayasu arteritis type III in a 9 years old girl. The diagnosis was made by physical examinations and digital subtration aortography (DSA) which showed occlusion of left subclavian artery and left renal artery and stenosis of abdominal aorta. Medical treatment and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) were performed. A brief review of literatures was made.

Kawasaki disease is a multisystem disorder with varying clinical expression. This is a report on one case of Kawasaki disease which during its clinical course developed facial nerve palsy and spontaneous recovery without specific treatment. It is hoped that this report will serve to remind physicians of the association of facial nerve paralysis with Kawasaki disease.
