- Abstract
Therefore, it is important to consider TA in young stroke patients without traditional risk factors or family history of stroke, and a full diagnostic evaluation of stroke etiologies is needed. To the Editor, Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory arteritis that primarily affects the aorta and its main branches. Thus, the patient underwent a diagnostic evaluation with high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI), which suggested active TA.
