BACKGROUND: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory arteritis affecting large vessels, predominantly the aorta and its main branches. Diagnosis is usually delayed in most patients owing to the absence of typical clinical manifestations in the acute phase until the development of substantial arterial symptoms. The purpose of this case report is to describe abdominal pain being an uncommon symptom in TA. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The clinical presentation of TA can be non-specific and can have serious consequences if the diagnosis is delayed, helping the clinicians who can treat with such patients (emergency medicine, cardiologist, or medical personnel).
