[Migrating and recurrent superficial phlebitis and Takayasu's disease (apropos of a case)].
This case of recurrent migratory superficial phlebitis is reported because of the highly unusual nature of the lesion observed. The picture was dominated by periphlebitis with inflammatory granuloma, giant cells and elastophagia. When the condition had been present for sixteen months, an aortic arch syndrome developed in an inflammatory context. In this light, various auto-immunological etiologies were considered, among them Takayashu's arteritis of which, in the author's opinion, this would be the first case to be combined with venopathy.
