ABSTRACT
Takayasu's arteritis is an uncommon arterial inflammatory disease, which causes obliteration of branches of aortic arch and pulmonary artery. It is characterized by absence of pulsation in the upper extremities and associated with ocular, cerebral, and cardiovascular occlusive complications. It affects mainly young Asian females and its etiology is unknown. The authors have experienced a case of Takayasu's arteritis which is associated with Takayasu's retinopthy in a 18 years old female. The fluorescein angiography shows partial delay in filling of choroidal fluorescence, dilated veins, microaneurysm, microemboli, and multiple leakage of retinal vessels.
