title: [Clinical aspects of Takayasu's disease: apropos of 4 cases].

Diagnosis was made by clinical examination, vascular Doppler Echography, and, in one case, arteriography. Thus, were examined the etiology of this disease, it might probably due to tuberculosis, the outcome and therapy problems at the occlusive stage.
