Abstract EN
Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory granulomatous vasculitis which affects large and medium arterial vessels.
The disease involves especially subclavian arteries and aortic branches but it can consist of any arteries.
The major pathology is granulomatous panarteritis with intima proliferation and defects of the elastic lamina of the vessels.
We present a case of central retinal artery occlusion in TA as the first presentation of the disease.
To the best of our knowledge, the present case is the first case that demonstrates central retinal artery occlusion as an initial manifestation in TA.
A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of sudden and painless vision loss in her right eye for one day.
Although retinal artery involvement is a very rare presentation in TA, it is important to recall TA particularly in young patients with retinal artery occlusion.
