title: Coexistence of Takayasu's arteritis with ulcerative colitis.
abstract: The association of ulcerative colitis with Takayasu's arteritis is rarely reported. The occurrence of the two together is possibly related to a common pathophysiology involving alteration in immune mechanisms. Takayasu's arteritis is more prevalent in Japan and South East Asia whereas Ulcerative Colitis is more in Western countries. The coexistence of these two diseases is uncommon and hence this report.
