[Takayasu's disease: diagnosis].
Takayasu's disease is a syndrome of inflammatory arteritis involving the aorta and its branches due to varying etiologies. The diagnosis is usually made after clinical, radiological and biological investigations, but the pathognomonic sign of the disease is inflammatory sclerosis of the adventitial media. There appear to be five prognostic factors: hypertension, arterial aneurysm, aortic regurgitation, coronary insufficiency, and retinopathy.
