Takayasu's arteritis presenting with unilateral digital clubbing.
Unilateral clubbing has been associated with local vascular lesions of the arm, axilla, and thoracic outlet and with hemiplegia. We describe a patient with Takayasu's arteritis, a disease that affects the aorta and its major branches, who presented with unilateral digital clubbing. A review of the literature on unilateral clubbing is included.
