[A case of aortitis syndrome].
A 57 years old woman was admitted for the investigation of anginal chest pain. Her coronary angiography didn't show any typical finding seen in the aortitis syndrome, but coronary sclerosis and stenosis seen in the usual atherosclerotic patients. The cerebral angiography was performed, too. The right vertebral artery, which was tortuous and dilated, was seen, but the other three cerebral vessels were not seen. These rare findings were reported in this report. We added the discussion about the relation between the aortitis syndrome and angina pectoris.
